$203K table game jackpot hits at Strip casino

If you’re here to buy a 5-year-old Rolls Royce, chances are you might not need an extra 200 grand. It’s probably nice to have it anyway.

Ashwin Patel of Sioux Falls, S.D., won $203,609 Friday after hitting a mega progressive jackpot playing Mississippi Stud poker at Caesars Palace, according to a Caesars Entertainment spokesperson.

Patel was visiting Las Vegas with his wife to purchase a 2018 Rolls Royce Ghost and landed the jackpot with a royal flush after two hours of playing.

According to Patel, in the 15 years he has visited the property, he has only played at the same poker table. He plans on using the winnings to enjoy a future trip back to Caesars Palace.

The fun didn’t stop there. An hour after that jackpot, another Caesars player won $200,000 on video poker.
