Palms casino players split huge baccarat progressive jackpot

Two lucky gamblers shared a seven figure baccarat payout at a Las Vegas resort.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 4 November 2026

A rare hand on the baccarat tables at Palms Casino Resort led to a massive payday for two fortunate gamblers. A local resident and a visitor walked away with equal shares of a progressive jackpot worth over one million dollars. Both participants placed the required side bet on the same round of play.

Community payout rules

The rules for this specific progressive wager dictate that the top prize functions as a shared community pool. When the winning hand lands, the entire meter splits evenly among all players who opted into the side bet for that round. Casino staff have not revealed the exact number of people seated at the table when the event occurred.

A rare card combination

The winning moment featured an unusual sequence of cards that activated the payout. Every single card dealt during the round belonged to the club suit. The banker hand finished with a total of seven to defeat a player hand totaling zero, triggering the life changing prize.

History of big wins

This event marks the second major baccarat jackpot awarded at the off Strip property in recent months. Another lucky bettor turned a tiny side wager into a million dollar payout earlier in the year. The venue has also seen massive wins on its slot machine floor, including a wheel of fortune payout worth over two million dollars.

What it means for a bet

Side bets with progressive jackpots can deliver massive returns from tiny stakes, but wins rely entirely on extreme luck.
