What started as a wait at Holland Casino Amsterdam-Centrum ended in an unforgettable evening for a regular visitor. The man wanted to play at a poker table, but there were no seats available at the time. To pass the time, he decided to take a seat at an empty Ultimate Texas Hold’Em table.
That spontaneous decision earned him a prize that others can only dream of. After just three hands, he hit the jackpot: a straight flush of diamonds appeared on the table and activated the jackpot. The man won no less than €488,524. Some of that will go to taxes, of course.
The lucky hand falls just right at Ultimate Texas Hold’Em
A straight flush is rare, especially in this variant of poker. It happened to the man in the first few minutes at the table. The fact that it was a compromise while he actually wanted to play somewhere else makes it even more special.
This win marked the 39th time in 2025 that a jackpot of over €100,000 was won at Holland Casino. This proves once again the game’s appeal and potential for big wins. It also shows that large sums of money are not only won on slots.
Jackpots are won more often than many people think at Holland Casino
Anyone who thinks that such jackpots are exceptional is mistaken. Large prizes are won regularly, sometimes even several times a month. For example, a mega jackpot of over €280,000 was recently won in Leeuwarden.This shows how often progressive jackpots are actually paid out. These prizes grow as long as there is no winner and can turn into a mega payout within a few hands.
