The odds of hitting a seven-card straight flush in Pai Gow Poker are about 0.000359%- not to worry because a pair of jackpot winners did it back-to-back
Video poker, and Pai Gow Poker by extension, attracts a lot of players. It is a version of the game that can arguably be beaten, and some professional gamblers have stipulated as much in their books.
Pai Gow Poker Players Hit Back-to-Back Seven-Card Straight Flushes
Therefore, despite the small chances of this happening, it’s not too surprising that two gamblers were able to win back-to-back jackpots playing Pai Gow Poker in Atlantic City, getting a seven-card straight flush each.
The hand resulted in the pair scooping a $184,000 and $90,000 jackpot respectively. However, the two players are said to have been won the two jackpots on two consecutive hands – first one player won, with the very next hand leading to another seven-card straight flush right there and then.
The odds of this happening may be as high as 1 in 77.4 billion, which is already very unlikely. But what about it? The Atlantis Casino Resorts Spa Casino has pounced at this opportunity and has made sure to get its photo-ops with the winners, congratulating them on their incredible but ultimately legitimate feat.
The gamblers posed for the customary photo with the large check and were identified only by their first names – Quinlin, who won $90,002, and Arnel, who won $183,946, to be exact. Not too bad! Earlier this month, a player won a $376,000 jackpot playing Pai Gow Poker at the Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino.
