The Barona Resort and Casino is one of many that offers the EZ Pai Gow Poker table game, which is enjoyed by many players on a daily basis. The game is connected to a progressive jackpot so players have many ways of earning large jackpot prizes. The Barona Resort recently announced that one lucky player was able to take home a prize of just over $126,000 while playing the Pai Gow Poker game.

The lucky player was Minh D. of La Puente and Minh was able to win $126,441 while playing the progressive jackpot game. The game is quite popular because it rewards players with large jackpots on a regular basis. Players get the fun of Pai Gow poker and have more chance of a larger jackpot since the five percent commission on winning hands is waived.

The game is played with a fifty three card deck that includes a single joker card. The joker card is the wild card in the game and allows players to create winning hands. Rick Salinas is the general manager of the casino and he commented on the recent win by stating:

“We had a lot of big winning moments here at Barona in recent weeks. We are proud to add a loyal player like Minh to our growing list of jackpot winners.” One would assume correctly that Minh is also glad to be added to the list of big winners!

EZ Pai Gow Poker is one of the most popular games at the land casino but they have many more to offer as well. Visiting gamblers will also be able to enjoy Roulette, Baccarat, Let It Ride, Mississippi Stud, Three Card Poker, Barona Craps, Caribbean Stud, Blackjack and Four Card Poker, just to name a few!
