Less than a month after Cannery casinos launched a pai gow progressive game at the company's two casinos, someone hit the jackpot, winning more than $260,000.

A Cannery spokesman confirmed that the winner, who wished to remain anonymous, hit jackpot this past Saturday at the Eastside Cannery Casino on Boulder Highway.

The winner, a frequent customer of the casino, drew a seven card straight flush to collect the progressive prize of $260,682.

Pai gow is similar to a Chinese domino game of the same name. It uses a 53-card deck with a joker. Players compete one-on-one with the dealer.

Cannery and Eastside Cannery began their progressive game March 20, billing it as the first of its kind in Las Vegas to spread over more than one casino. It started at $250,000.
