The bustling casino floors of The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas became the stage for an unforgettable moment when an anonymous guest walked away with the largest table games jackpot in the history of the resort.
The player, participating in Ultimate Texas Hold’em, was dealt a spade royal flush that set off the Mega tier of the Millionaire Progressive jackpot, turning a modest $5 side bet into a staggering $3,845,727 payout.
The most recent jackpot that we have even seen come close to this one is the more than $700,000 a woman hit playing Texas Hold’em in September. There was also big win when a 7-card straight flush landed a windfall at South Point Casino back in February. It’s also reminiscent of the  unbelievable Pai Gow Poker win someone pulled off on Star Wars Day.
The Venetian Las Vegas’ jackpot win underscores the thrilling potential of progressive jackpots.
Since its inception in 2018, the Millionaire Progressive jackpot has linked multiple table games across The Venetian and The Palazzo casino floors. This innovative system pools side-bet wagers into tiered jackpots, offering life-changing sums for rare and spectacular hands, such as a natural spade royal flush.
The winner, who had been playing for approximately four hours, placed a total stake of $200 on the decisive hand that clinched the Mega jackpot. This not only marks a personal victory but also a new milestone in the history of The Venetian’s gaming operations.
One of the last big wins The Venetian Las Vegas has seen like this was way back in March when two people walked away with $2 million. It’s new food hall has also been a topic of conversation in recent months.
The Millionaire Progressive side bet is a $5 optional wager available on various table games, including Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Three Card Poker, and Caribbean Stud, to name a few. Each game uses a single 52-card deck, ensuring equal odds across the board.
Here’s how the jackpot structure works:
Although there have been larger wins in the wider casino world, particularly with slot machines like the Megabucks hitting over $30 million, The Venetian’s $3.8 million win stands as the top payout for a table games progressive jackpot, making it a standout event.
Casino-goers are continually drawn by the allure of progressive jackpots, and the recent win at The Venetian highlights the appeal of combining small bets with the potential for enormous rewards.
These jackpots play a key role in attracting players to different tables and casinos because they are cleverly designed to give players a chance at big wins while also keeping the casino profitable over time.
Since this system started seven years ago, the Millionaire Progressive jackpot has made 15 people millionaires, making it very popular among visitors at The Venetian Las Vegas. The resort’s excitement over this huge jackpot win highlights how important the event is and strengthens its reputation as a top place for people who love gaming.
As side bet progressives on table games continue to capture attention, they show just how exciting they can make the casino experience, offering both thrilling gameplay and the possibility of big winnings. This is why they still play an important role in the ever-changing casino world.

You may want to look through any crumpled-up papers or trash laying around.
A $1 million unclaimed winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Valley Stream is set to expire on Dec. 13, the New York Lottery announced on Friday.
The second-prize winning Mega Millions ticket was sold at Cold Cut Express at 507 Dubois Ave. and had numbers drawn on Dec. 13, 2024.
The winning numbers were 36-43-52-58-65 and the Mega Ball 16.
Store manager Bobby Patel said the ticket was the only $1 million win he had seen in his 13 years of working at the deli.
"I’m happy for them, my customers," he said in a phone interview on Friday. "People come in to win money."
Lottery tickets are a main source of income for the store, which has a stream of regular customers, Patel said.
"I say to everyone … check your tickets, you have a million dollars?" he recalls telling customers this year.
According to the NY Lottery website, unclaimed prize money is returned to the prize pool and can be used to subsidize prizes for large jackpots, promotions and special one-time games.
Any unclaimed prize money not used to subsidize other games or promotions goes to support public schools, the website said.
Players have exactly one year to claim their wins.
While it is unusual that no one has come forward yet, Patel said he was not surprised.
"Maybe they want to hide it," he said.
