R5 Million Poker Progressive Win at Emperors Palace
Tuesday, 30 September 2025
On 30 September, a lucky punter won an outstanding R5 151 444 playing Progressive Poker in the Emperor's Palace Privé. The jackpot was struck on the ever-popular Arizona Hold ’em Poker table, where a straight flush or the elusive royal flush is required to claim the grand progressive prize.
The progressive jackpot has been steadily climbing to over R5 Million before a Straight Flush unlocked one of the biggest jackpot payouts of the year, creating an unforgettable moment for the lucky guest and proving once again that fortunes can change in an instant on the casino floor.
How Poker Progressives Work
Poker progressives add an extra layer of excitement to traditional table play. In games like Arizona Hold ’em, players can place an additional bet that contributes to a progressive jackpot, which grows continuously until it is won. While standard hands still follow normal poker rules, hitting specific rare hands — usually a straight flush or royal flush — unlocks the life-changing prize pool.
In addition to the top prize, many progressives also pay out smaller jackpots for other high-ranking hands, ensuring more opportunities for players to walk away a winner. This system creates a thrilling mix of strategy, anticipation, and the chance at multi-million rand rewards.
With this latest win, Emperors Palace once again demonstrates why it is the premier destination for world-class gaming and unforgettable jackpot moments. Emperors Palace has a variety of table games available on the casino floor and in the Privés.
