What a week it has been for Live! Casino Pittsburgh. People are still talking about three incredible casino jackpot wins that shook the casino: one player claimed a massive payout, a lucky lady transformed pocket change into a fortune, and a couple hit two jackpots within two minutes.

Let’s start with the life-changing sum of money.

David Lambie is from Scottsdale, Pennsylvania. He recently struck gold at Live! Casino Pittsburgh while playing Blazing 7 Blackjack.

Blazing 7s Blackjack offers a progressive side bet that pays out depending on how many 7s are in your hand and the dealer's hand. You win if at least one of your first two cards is a 7. You win more if both of your first two cards are 7s. The payouts increase further if the dealer's up card is also a 7.

Lambie was dealt his first two up cards, both the 7 of diamonds, which matched perfectly with the dealer's card and won him a payout of more than $343,000.

The progressive is only based on the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s up card.

How The Blazing 7’s Progressive Works

According to the casino’s website, Blazing 7’s Progressive is an optional $5 progressive side bet for casino blackjack. At the start of each round, players place their standard blackjack bets. Additionally, they can make an optional progressive wager by placing it on the sensor at their betting position, which will then light up.

The Blazing 7’s Progressive considers both the player’s initial two cards and the dealer’s up card. If the player does not have at least one 7 in the player’s initial two cards, the progressive bet will lose.

The progressive is only based on the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s up card.

Couple Cashes Two Large Jackpots Two Minutes Apart

This huge win comes on the heels of another noteworthy payout for a Mahaffey, Pennsylvania couple at Live! Casino Pittsburgh.

Randall and Theresa Davidson came in to enjoy a casual casino night, but both left with their hearts filled with love and their pockets full of cash.

They each won jackpots just two minutes apart. Theresa Davidson hit on a $5 bet on a Panda Magic machine at 10:39 p.m, while Randall hit at 10:41 p.m. on a $10 bet on a Peacock Princess machine. With only $15 in bets, they walked away with over $20,000; Theresa won nearly $12,000, and Randall took home almost $11,000.

88 Cents Wins Big Slot Machine Jackpot

If that’s not lucky enough, a woman identified only as Stacy H., won more than $15,000 on a bet of only $0.88.

Stacy hit the jackpot on a Dancing Drums machine. The grand total on the payout was $15,706.00.

The casino posted her picture with the winning machine on their X account.
