The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain has minted a new big winner, with one Yuba City resident winning a six-figure payout. The property publicized the event as well as a photo-op with the winner.
The person, one Andrew Holley, who posed with the guitar-shaped oversized check, beamed at the camera and held up his $394,331 prize for the world to see.
The payout came not after some major stake, but a regular $5 side bet at the 7-7-7- Diamonds Poker Mega progressive jackpot off a poker table game. The win occurred shortly after midnight at 12:15 am, with Holley claiming the full amount of the top prize.
Mark Birtha, the casino’s president, welcomed the win and congratulated Holley, adding: "We are thrilled to congratulate our neighbor on his life-changing jackpot this weekend..We certainly hope it made for an exciting weekend."
The property has frequently ended up paying six-figure prizes to various winners, including a $5 bet on a 5-cent slot machine, which fetched the winner a $125,631 progressive jackpot payout.
The property publicized the Dragon Link Autumn Moon slot machine win, which took place on April 5, 2026. Birtha celebrated that win as well, congratulating the winner and hoping that the experience left fond memories in them.
Just last week, the property also publicized a win that took place on March 31, when a Marysville woman placed a $5 side bet on a game of Three Card Poker and its progressive jackpot, securing more than $200,000 in payout.
The woman had won $218,185.25, with Birtha congratulating her on the lucky event as well.
