A woman got lucky at a poker table in Las Vegas with a $7 bet.

Now, she’s $13,077 richer.

The woman was visiting from Alberta, Canada, when she went to Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel, the casino said in a Dec. 16 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She sat at a Let it Ride poker table and placed a $2 bet and a $5 side bet.

The gambler hit the jackpot with a three-card “mini-royal.”

Her winning cards were a queen, king and ace all in the same suit.

Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel is in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
