A man playing three-card poker won over $1 million at a Strip casino Tuesday.
The gambler, who requested to not be identified, claimed $1.3 million after securing the progressive jackpot win with a royal flush of hearts at Harrah’s Las Vegas, according to a news release from Caesars Entertainment.
While the jackpot win was being processed, the man and his family were treated to a bottle of champagne by Harrah’s officials, the release said.
Tuesday marked the first day that all casino resorts in the state were allowed to operate without coronavirus-related restrictions.
“The Harrah’s Las Vegas gaming floor was alive and full of luck this afternoon,” said Dan Walsh, the resort’s general manager, in the release. “It was an exciting day for our city, our winning guest and the whole team at our Harrah’s property.”
