$699,582 Ultimate Texas Hold'em win at Rivers Casino Philadelphia

9 October 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- For the second time in five weeks, Rivers Casino Philadelphia paid out a jackpot of nearly $700,000 when a player placed a $5 side bet and won the Royal Flush multi-game progressive jackpot of $699,582 on Sunday, 4 October.

While playing Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, the Rivers guest from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, held the ace and king of clubs and hit a royal flush after the queen, jack and 10 of clubs were dealt on the flop. The Mega Jackpot is a shared progressive between Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, Mississippi Stud and Three Card Poker.

With additional side-bet payouts, the player won more than $725,000, while four other players at the table won $5,000 each through the Envy Bonus.

The Royal Flush Progressive Jackpot is one of the largest in Rivers Casino Philadelphia history, following the $694,124 jackpot won at the Royal 9 Baccarat progressive table game on Saturday, 29 August.

Additionally, over the last five weeks, two guests hit six-figure jackpots on slot machines. The Dollar Storm Super Grand Jackpot paid nearly $136,000, and the Lightning Link Grand Jackpot hit for more than $108,000. Since 29 August, Rivers guests have won more than $1.6 million.

The Royal 9 Baccarat progressive jackpot and linked Royal Flush progressive jackpot have both reset and are now over $235,000 and $250,000, respectively.
