The unidentified winner was dealt a seven-card straight flush of a king, queen, jack, 10, joker, 8 and 7 of clubs while also having a $5 Fortune Bonus with the joker. This added another $5,000 to the payout.
Two other players at the table got a $500 “envy” payout on the Fortune Bonus.
Rivers Casino says Tuesday’s jackpot is the second-largest Pai Gow payout at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh.
The Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot now resets to $261,426.
Pai Gow Poker is a casino table game played with cards that combines elements of traditional Chinese Pai Gow with poker. It is quite different from regular poker because you're primarily playing against the dealer, not the other players.
Fortune Pai Gow Poker adds an optional side wager based primarily on the strength of your seven-card hand.
Unlike the basic Pai Gow wager, you don't necessarily have to beat the dealer to win the Fortune bet. You're trying to make one of the qualifying poker combinations on the Fortune pay table.
Depending on the casino/version, payouts can begin with hands such as a straight and increase dramatically for exceptionally rare combinations.
The jackpot continually increases as qualifying wagers are made until somebody hits the required top hand.
