A twenty nine year old woman was visiting the Grand Lisboa on December 30th and decided to play Caribbean Stud Poker. The game was set up at a table with a progressive jackpot connected to it. Players can place a side bet in the hopes that they may hit the jackpot. Well this young woman actually did hit the jackpot and took home 2.79Million Hong Kong dollars.

The woman lives in Nanjing and was very excited about the win. She hit the Royal Flush at the table to earn the win. What a way to start the New Year.

The SJM’s director and COO, Louis Ng congratulated the winner and commented that the year 2008 saw the Grand Lisboa give away over fifty eight million Hong Kong dollars to winners at the casino. Ng also commented that they look forward to more winners this New Year.

This win is just another testament that it does not hurt to play a small side bet because you may actually hit the progressive jackpot that your game is connected to!
