Two nearly $700,000 jackpots led recent casino payouts
On Oct. 4, a player from Cherry Hill, N.J., won a $699,582 Royal Flush multigame progressive jackpot while playing Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em. A $5 side bet triggered the win. With additional side-bet payouts, the player’s total topped $725,000. Four other players at the table won $5,000 each through the Envy Bonus.
Five weeks earlier, on Aug. 29, a Philadelphia player won $694,124 at the Royal 9 Baccarat progressive table game. The $5 bonus wager triggered the jackpot when the player’s King-Nine hand matched the bank’s hand. The two wins are among the largest in the casino’s history.
According to the Rivers Casino press release, three other guests won six-figure slot jackpots during the same period:
- Dragon Link, nearly $154,000
- Dollar Storm Super Grand Jackpot, nearly $136,000

In all, the five jackpots totaled nearly $1.8 million.
