A Rancho Cucamonga resident won a $1.98 million progressive jackpot at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel while playing Ultimate Texas Hold’Em.
The player wagered $5 on the progressive and landed a five-card royal flush in diamonds, the top qualifying hand for the Ultimate Texas Hold’Em progressive jackpot. The hand resulted in a $1,977,758 payout.
“There is nothing more exciting than seeing one of our guests experience a win of this magnitude,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel. “A $5 wager turning into nearly $2 million is an incredible outcome, and it reflects the energy, anticipation and unforgettable experiences our team strives to deliver every day across our gaming floor.”
The jackpot comes during Yaamava’s 40th anniversary year. In August, two Club Serrano members split a $1.24 million progressive baccarat jackpot, while a Los Angeles resident won a $1.2 million jackpot from a $100 bet in March.
Yaamava’ Resort & Casino has awarded nearly $4.5 million in major table game jackpots so far this year.
