For a local video poker player, the motto was play big, win bigger.

Playing a five-coin, $125 hand on the $25 video poker machine, the bettor hit a royal flush to win $100,000 at The Orleans.

Holding a King, Jack and 10 of hearts, the player drew the Ace and Queen of hearts around 9 a.m. Sunday, according to the company’s publicist.

The winner chose to remain anonymous, the publicist said.

It was the second $100,000 jackpot won at The Orleans within the past two months. On Dec. 1, a Texas visitor named Raymond hit a video reel slot jackpot and earned a $100,000 payout.

Across the Las Vegas Valley

At Treasure Island, visitor Danielle G. won $16,769 on slots.

At Fremont, a “mystery player” won $14,482 on the Madonna slots.

At Cannery, a video poker player got the Jack of spades needed for a royal flush worth $9,043.

At Oyo Las Vegas, a seven-spot video keno win was worth $7,000.

MGM Resorts last Las Vegas operator standing in Osaka bid - VIDEO
Japan is getting ready to issue three highly coveted gaming licenses. The country’s gaming market is estimated to be worth more than $25 billion a year once resorts open in 2025. If the estimates stand up, Japan would become the second-largest gaming market in the world behind Chinese gaming enclave Macau. MGM and at least eight other companies had been vying for the Japanese licenses. In 2019 Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Wynn Resorts Ltd. turned their attention to other areas. Caesars Entertainment Corp. dropped out of the race altogether. MGM teamed up with Japanese financial services group Orix for its bid for a gaming license. MGM/Orix group was the only one to participate in the RFP process. "We think MGM is in a very good position in Osaka at this point" - Union Gaming analyst John DeCree
