Two Players Share $1.15M Baccarat Jackpot at Palms in Las Vegas

A rare baccarat hand at Palms Casino Resort turned a single round of play into a seven-figure payday, with a Las Vegas local and a visiting tourist splitting a progressive jackpot worth $1,154,924. Each player collected $577,462 after the jackpot was triggered on the same hand early Friday, Oct. 30, according to the casino. While million-dollar payouts are relatively common across Las Vegas casinos, this win stood out because two players shared the exact same progressive jackpot pool.
