A Wyoming woman who was simply hoping for a flush caught a royal deal worth six figures this week at Four Queens.
The winner, who identified herself only by her first name, Neva, received a royal flush in hearts Tuesday to win a $112,505 progressive jackpot at Mississippi Stud poker. It was the biggest jackpot ever from a table game at the 46-year-old downtown casino.
In Mississippi Stud, each player receives two cards. The dealer places three community cards on the table, which are turned over one at a time. Players may bet on each card, and a pay table determines the winning pots for each hand.
Neva received the queen and 10 before the dealer turned over the jack, ace and king of hearts.
Four Queens officials said the player told them she would use the money to take her family on vacation and pay off some of her mortgage.
The Four Queens, which opened in 1966, is named after former owner Ben Goffstein's wife and three daughters, Faith, Hope, Benita and Michelle. The casino is one of the most iconic Fremont Street casinos.
Today, the 32,000-square foot casino features more than 1,000 slots, 30 tables games and a race and sports book. The hotel offers about 695 guest rooms including 45 guest suites.
Hugo's Cellar, which is one level below the casino floor, provides a romantic atmosphere, an extensive selections of fine meats and seafood and ladies walk away with a complimentary rose. The wine list has won recognition from Wine Spectator and Zagat's. Other restaurants include Magnolia's Veranda, which is open 24 hours a day and has a wide menu, and the Chicago Brew Pub, which serves deep-dish pizza, salads and sandwiches as well as its own beer.
The Canyon Club also opened their outpost at the Four Queens, attracting musical and comedy acts from across the nation.
