$500,000 Jackpot Winner At Thunder Valley Casino In California.

A large progressive poker jackpot of over $500,000 has been won by American player from Northern California at the Thunder Valley Casino near Sacramento.

The gambler hit a seven-card straight flush, as well as a side wager, to win on the "Fortune Pai Gow Poker" Progressive. As the hand is the highest in the game, it pays out 8,000 : 1 and 100 per cent of the 5 figure progressive jackpot.

To be eligible to win large jackpot, punters include a small progressive wager as a side bet as well as their standard bets.

The Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive game is the first of its kind to be released since Shuffle Master acquired the Table Game Division of the Progressive Gaming International Corporation.

Mark L. Yoseloff, chairman and chief executive officer of Shuffle Master, commented on the recent win: "The enhanced game has rapidly become a staple product in a growing number of casinos throughout North America."

The Thunder Valley Casino offers 2,600+ slot machines, including progressive machines such as very popular Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks.
