Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of Diamonds. Poker fans are well aware of this “hand” being synonymous with the holy grail. For two consecutive days, a player at the Cannes Casino (Alpes-Maritimes) saw a “royal flush,” the game’s queen combination, displayed on his electronic poker screen. He thus pocketed his bet 930, the maximum, and a total of 75,200 euros. For the Barriere group casino teams based at the Palais des Festivals, it’s all about the venue’s history “A new page in the most beautiful and incredible”.
Among the 193 slot machines and 72 electronic games, the player – a regular at the casino for over 30 years – chose “B905” on Friday January 5 to start playing electronic poker. He bets twenty credits of two euros and draws five lucky cards. That day, the man had already won 37,600 euros.

Not satisfied, his instincts compel him to return to “Le Croisette” casino the next day to try the same thing. But for this, he did not choose the same machine and went to the one next to it, “B907”. Twenty credits of two euros are bet once more, and again, five cards appear for a “royal flush”. Second jackpot in a row of 37,600 euros and therefore a double jackpot in just 48 hours. Checks were given to him by the staff. In 2023, 10,000 people shared 18 million euros in this Cannes gambling house.
