Beau Rivage is the First Casino in Mississippi to Offer Table Games Progressives

Three New Table Games Gives Players a Chance to Win a Life-Changing Jackpot

BILOXI, Miss. – Playing table games at Beau Rivage just got more exciting. MGM MIRAGE’s Beau Rivage has upgraded a number of its table games to progressive versions that give players the ability to win all or part of ever-increasing jackpots.

“Beau Rivage is extremely pleased to present progressive table jackpots in the state of Mississippi,” said Warren Mason, vice president of Table Games for MGM MIRAGE’s Mississippi Operations, which includes Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Gold Strike Casino Resort in Tunica. “We are the first casino in the South to offer these exciting new jackpots. Today, our customers crave more action for their money. Our progressive jackpots offer not only games inside of games, but also the possibility of winning a life-changing jackpot.”

Beau Rivage has teamed up with Shuffle Master to offer three new inventive progressive games. The new progressive table game versions of Three Card Poker, Royal Match 21 and Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive join the well-established player favorite Caribbean Stud Poker, which is currently at $270,000 and will pay the full amount when a player has a five card Royal Flush in any suit. Unlike slot progressives, these table game progressives are not linked to other casinos, but rather only apply to play at Beau Rivage, which can increase a player’s chance of winning. These jackpots offer games inside of games with an optional $1 side bet with each hand.

Three Card Poker Progressive is an exciting stud poker game that offers three ways to play and four ways to win the always-increasing pot. Players can bet against the dealer, bet on the value of their own three-card hand, or bet both. The optional $1 progressive bet wins if the player has three-of-a-kind or better. If the player gets ace-king-queen of spades, you win 100 percent of the progressive jackpot.

Royal Match 21 Progressive is an optional progressive bonus bet for Blackjack that considers the first two cards each player receives. If a player’s first two cards are the same suit or a Royal Match (a king and queen in suit), he or she wins. Players can win up to 1,000 to 1 for their progressive bet. When both the player and the dealer have a Royal Match (a king and queen of spades), the player will win 100 percent of the progressive jackpot, often hitting in the $300,000 range.

Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive adds a twist to the already popular Fortune Pai Gow Poker by giving players an opportunity to win all – or part – of a large, growing jackpot. Payouts start at the full house and all the way up to top line payoff. The seven-card straight flush of any suit wins 100 percent of the progressive.
