Not the First Time Cache Creek Casino Resort Has Made Headlines

The player in question had been enjoying face-up pai gow poker when he hit a seven-card straight flush that automatically won him the progressive jackpot of $447,810. The win in question happened in March.
In more recent news, a player referred to as Richard H. won $351,918 after repeating the feat and hitting a seven-card straight flush. To top it all off, Richard H. also won an additional $5,000 in Fortune Bonus. That win happened on September 20, 2026.
