When the side bet is on your side, it can be profitable.
George Lee, visiting from Los Angeles, California, plucked down a $5 side bet Sunday as he was playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em at The Venetian.
He was then dealt a spade royal flush, activating the mega tier of the resort’s Millionaire Progressive, and winning $2,235,550, according to a casino spokesperson.
The Las Vegas Strip casino last week also handed out a $764,467 jackpot to a slot player on Buffalo Diamond Extreme, deploying a $35 spin.
