Retiring as a rodeo clown after winning almost half a million dollars in a game at Nevada’s Horseshoe Casino is the perfect way to cap off a lifelong career. Not a bad way to say goodbye to the bull riding circuit and say hello to the newly relaunched gaming property under a new name (previously Bally’s). It’s a jackpot for a horseshoe vegas player.
A lucky win of $499,763 awarded to Colorado resident Jeff Reeves was the perfect send-off after a Three Card Poker round. Hitting a royal flush of hearts in the game is an especially rare feat, and in this case, it earned him his big break.
Las Vegas’s Thomas & Mack Center played host to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo competition, in which Reeves took part from December 1-10, 2022.
In light of his windfall, the Lucky Caesars Rewards member plans to retire and enjoy the fact he has enough financial security to pursue other interests.
Over 1,500 gaming machines housed at the facility offer a range of slot and scratch ticket games, tables, and a poker area. Guests can use roughly 70,000 square feet of space with all the amenities of a full-fledged resort. Almost all of the guest rooms have undergone renovations within the previous four years.
In other winnings, Caesars Entertainment which owns Horseshoe Las Vegas has revealed huge payouts from its various properties.
At Caesars Palace, a $400K cash win and another $103,125 jackpot rolled in for two Caesars Rewards member players.
In Atlantic City, another gambler reportedly racked up almost $1.7M in prize money playing progressive poker, with an initial investment of just $5.
