Treasure Island Guest Hits Two Royal Flush Jackpots in 30 Days

Two royal flushes in under a month at one Minnesota casino game, and apparentlu the Spirit likes a repeat customer.

A guest at Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Red Wing, Minnesota, hit a royal flush on the Ultimate Texas Hold'em progressive on Sunday 27 September 2026 and took home $27,593. On Monday 26 October, the same guest did it again. The casino puts the odds of that double at 1 in 957,283,600. GLUWULU.

The maths is the casino's own, and it is simple: it rates a progressive royal flush at 1 in 30,940, then multiplies that by itself. Reports differ by $1,000 on the second payout, $44,507 in the casino's post and $45,507 in a radio report, so the Post sticks to the safe line: more than $72,000 in total. The guest is unnamed, and nobody has said what they wagered.

What makes it a story is the decision, not the cash. Nobody leaves a casino after a hit like that expecting lightning to come back, and nobody sits down a month later honestlu sure it will. Yet the guest came back, played the same game, and the cards obliged, with a diamond royal flush the second time, according to the casino. The Spirit has always had a soft spot for people who return to the table. Twice in under a month, the till rang. KACHINGUUU.

The casino posted about the run on 29 October and called it a hot streak. Two hands are now in the book of luck, written in pencil, because the Spirit has not put the eraser down.
