$1.6M table game jackpot hits at Las Vegas Strip casino

Thursday night’s NFL opener wasn’t only good for the Kansas City Chiefs.

While the defending Super Bowl 58 champs started its attempt for a three-peat successfully, a visitor from Omaha, Nebraska, stopped into Planet Hollywood to watch the game and play a game or two.

Scott A. won $1,620,470 after hitting a progressive jackpot playing pai gow poker with a seven-card straight flush at the Las Vegas Strip casino, according to a Caesars Entertainment spokesperson.

Scott, who had been playing for about 90 minutes, said his first reaction was to call his wife.
