Major Win in Three-Card Poker
This victory stands as one of the most significant three-card poker jackpots ever recorded at Hard Rock Atlantic City. The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, drew the winning hand in the suit of Clubs, consisting of an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10. A spokesperson from the casino confirmed the win to NJ.com, calling it a milestone moment for the establishment. “The lucky guest bet $5 and won with a Royal Straight Flush in the suit of Clubs: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10,” the spokesperson shared.
While the nearly $1 million win is extraordinary, the fortunate player won’t pocket the full amount. As with any substantial gambling victory, taxes will take a significant bite out of the winnings.
