Brent Weiss of Las Vegas won $465,945 while playing a Mississippi Stud poker game at the Flamingo Las Vegas Casino<\/a> on Sunday. It was a mega progressive jackpot. He won with a royal flush.<\/p>\n

Also on Sunday, a player at the Linq<\/a> won $114,251 in a progressive jackpot. The patron was playing Pai Gow.<\/p>\n

That player wasn’t named. Both are Caesars Rewards members.<\/p>\n

Prior Flamingo Wins<\/h2>\n

Last month, another player won $187,542 while playing Let It Ride<\/em> poker at the Flamingo. It was through a mega progressive jackpot, KTNV<\/em>, a local TV station, said. The player won with a royal flush and wasn’t identified.<\/p>\n

Also in October, an unnamed local won $288,024 at the Flamingo. It was also through a mega progressive jackpot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winning hand was also a royal flush. The local was playing Crazy-4<\/em> poker.<\/p>\n

Earlier Linq Jackpots<\/h2>\n

The Linq has also seen prior jackpot winners in recent months.<\/p>\n

\n

In March a player identified only as \u201cMichael T.\u201d won $1,041,779 at the Linq. It was on a Mega Progressive jackpot while playing Let It Ride<\/em>, KLAS<\/em>, another local TV station, said. The casino didn’t identify the player\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In February, Mitchell Stachowiak of St. Paul, Minn., won $145,567 while playing Three Card Poker<\/em> at the Linq, KSNV<\/em>, a Nevada TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

Other Wins<\/h2>\n

Earlier this month, an unnamed patron won more than $620K on a slot machine at North Las Vegas\u2019 Cannery Casino Hotel<\/a>. The lucky $2.50 spin was made on a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> slot machine manufactured by IGT.<\/p>\n

The player was described by local media as a woman and a frequent visitor to the casino. She chose to remain anonymous. She is believed to be a resident of Las Vegas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July, a slot machine player won more than $1.2 million at Sunset Station Casino in Henderson, Nev. The instant millionaire made a $7 bet at the Station Casinos property. The player got lucky on just their third spin on the Wheel of Fortune<\/em> progressive slot.<\/p>\n

The mystery player chose not to release his or her name, but is a Las Vegas local, Station Casinos revealed in a statement. The person is also a member of Boarding Pass, which is Station\u2019s rewards club.<\/p>\n

In June, a player won $689K also at Sunset Station. That, too, was on a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> slot. She was identified as \u201cWendy P\u201d from Hawaii. She had bet $1.25.<\/p>\n

In another lucky June spin, a mystery player won more than $1.3M on a slot machine at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Again, the jackpot was won on a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> slot machine. In May, another player hit it big, also on a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> slot machine. It was at The D Hotel and Casino, also in downtown Las Vegas. The D reported the slot player hit for $1,437,768.17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
