Lucky Player Hits $1,916,491 Three Card Poker Progressive Jackpot at The Venetian on Friday the 13th

LAS VEGAS, NV — Friday the 13th proved anything but unlucky on the Las Vegas Strip after a table game player hit a massive $1,916,491 progressive jackpot playing Three Card Poker at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

Confirmed by a resort spokesperson, the seven-figure windfall landed on Friday, November 13, 2026, after the player was dealt a rare spade royal flush.

In Three Card Poker progressive side-bet configurations—which combine the player’s three-card hand with the dealer’s community cards to form a five-card poker hand—a five-card royal flush in spades serves as the top qualifying hand required to trigger the 100% mega progressive meter.

The payout ranks among the largest single-hand table game progressive jackpots hit along the Las Vegas Boulevard resort corridor this season, adding to a strong autumn run of high-limit and progressive table wins at The Venetian.

Table Game Progressives Drive Strip Floor Excitement

While multi-million-dollar slot machine hits routinely grab headlines across Southern Nevada, seven-figure table game progressives remain a premier draw for pit players across Las Vegas Strip resorts.

Linked progressive meters on specialty pit games—including Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and Pai Gow Poker—allow players placing a standard $5 progressive side wager to compete for shared top-tier jackpots that climb into the millions until a qualifying royal flush or seven-card straight flush lands.

Per standard resort guest privacy protocols, The Venetian did not release the name or hometown of the winning player.

Verification and Gaming Control Protocols

Following standard Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) procedures for high-value progressive payouts, floor supervisors and gaming technicians verified the card sequence, shuffled deck integrity, and progressive meter telemetry before authorizing final payout disbursement.
