Timeline
February: a player hit a $609,346 Platinum Bonus Jackpot on Whitney Houston Slots by IGT.
May: a woman turned a $5 progressive side bet on baccarat into a $1,117,842 payout.
July 2024: an out-of-state visitor secured a $2.1 million payout at the Palms.
Season Trajectory
This jackpot continues a run of large progressive payouts at the Palms Casino Resort, following a $609,346 slot jackpot in February and a $1,117,842 baccarat side-bet payout in May. Together these wins place the resort among Las Vegas venues with recurring high-value progressive awards.
Players at the Palms can pursue progressive baccarat and slot jackpots by placing eligible bets at the casino's tables and machines. The payouts show that side-bet progressives can be won with relatively small wagers, such as the $5 bet that produced a $1.1 million payout.
The takeaway
Progressive side bets can pay out far more than the wager that triggers them, but these outcomes are rare and depend on chance. Players should treat jackpot results as unpredictable and set limits on how much they spend.
