A New Jersey gambler won nearly $1.7 million playing poker Saturday morning at an Atlantic City casino and then left a $77,000 tip for the table dealers, officials said.
The lucky winner, identified only as a Monmouth County woman and “longtime customer”, hit a $1,681,458.40 MEGA jackpot on a progressive poker game after placing a $5 bet at Harrah’s Resort, casino officials said.
The win is the largest jackpot payout on a progressive poker game at a Caesars Entertainment property in Atlantic City. The game is part of Caesars Entertainment’s multi-linked All-In Progressive Poker Jackpot, a table games side bet offered at Caesars, Tropicana, and Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City.
