The four Mega Moolah jackpots are as follows: Mini, Minor, Major, and of course the coveted Mega jackpot. Every time lucky players hit the jackpot, these are reset to 10, 100, 10,000 and 1 million coins respectively and start growing again. After a British player took home a Mega Moolah jackpot worth €17,879,645 in 2015, this Guinness World Book of Records was broken by an insane €18.9 million payout in 2018. Therefore, it’s easy to see that this five-reel slot, with 25 pay-lines, is undisputedly Microgaming’s flag ship game.

Not bitter. At all.

One lucky video poker player at Red Rock Resort not only hit a royal, they hit a rare sequential royal flush.

The player’s $5 bet reaped an incredible $217,591.55 jackpot. And the Internet went wild.

We shared a photo of the sequential royal on our Twitter account, resulting in more than 130,000 Tweet impressions. This has nothing to do with the story, we just like to show off.

The sequential royal flush jackpot is remarkable for several reasons.

First, it’s remarkable we didn’t even know this existed.

Second, that’s a metric hell-ton of money.

Third, seriously, 20 years. Just saying.

The jackpot was won on a game called Video Poker Deluxe. Note to self.

How rare is a sequential royal flush? Well, the elusive royal flush (where cards can appear in any order) is 1-in-40,000. No small feat, obviously.

The odds of getting a sequential royal are about (wait for it) 2.4 million-to-1.
