The first win came Sept. 29 when a player won $135,676 after being dealt the coveted five aces hand while playing “Face Up Pai Gow Poker,” the casino said in a news release.
The second came Oct. 2 when a player took home a $236,254 progressive jackpot with a royal flush while playing “Ultimate Texas Hold’em.”
The second player told casino workers he planned to use the winnings to pay bills.
“When a jackpot hits, the excitement spreads beyond the winning player,” said Michael J. Facenda, president and general manager of Sky River Casino. “The entire casino gets caught up in the moment.”
