IE Residents Win $750K In Jackpots From Pechanga Resort Casino

TEMECULA, CA — Two major jackpots were won within four days of each other at Pechanga Resort Casino. The prizes were both won by Inland Empire residents who took home more than $650,000 in winnings between them, and more than $750,000, counting one woman’s second six-figure jackpot.

Patch spoke with casino spokesperson Ciara Green, who shared the details of the exciting double jackpots.

On Friday, Oct. 24, a Temecula woman celebrated a big slot machine jackpot, according to Green.

"The Pechanga Resort Casino guest saw her luck flash in front of her while playing the Aristocrat Lightning Buffalo Cash Wide Area Progressive machine, causing her to strike it rich for $181,964.49."

Turns out, luck must be following this lady. Nearly one month to the day before, in September 2025, the slot player hit the same progressive jackpot on the same slot machine, only a few seats from the first one, Green said. "She won $122,340.30 in the first jackpot, giving her a grand total of $304,304.79."

On Tuesday, a Menifee man won while playing a poker progressive game while visiting the casino.

"He sat down to play a few hands of Crazy 4 Poker Royal Progressive at Pechanga Resort Casino," she said. "He made sure he placed the $5 side bet that would pay him the current six-figure progressive payout if it hit. As his cards were revealed, the man’s poker hand showed he possessed the exact combination to pocket the major progressive jackpot – $440,173.38."

Four Pechanga Resort Casino table games pay out the progressive jackpot when a guest scores with the winning side bet – Let It Ride, 3 Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em and Crazy 4 Poker Royal Progressive.

Casino winners hit the jackpot daily at Pechanga Resort Casino, according to Green. Are you next? Share your Pechanga slot playing experiences with us in the comments below!
