Local Man Wins Big At MGM National Harbor

A Prince George’s County resident identified as Michael has claimed a life-changing jackpot at MGM National Harbor, securing the casino’s largest win of May so far. On May 18, Michael hit the Face Up Pai Gow Poker progressive for $2,669,714, a windfall the property described as “the hand of a lifetime.” The victory cements Michael among the month’s top five winners and punctuates a strong run of jackpots at the Oxon Hill resort.

MGM National Harbor reported that May’s leading jackpots have already surpassed $3.3 million combined. In addition to Michael’s multimillion-dollar payday, the top wins include $500,010 on Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, $63,169 on Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, $57,004 on Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, and $32,315 on Super 4 Progressive Blackjack. The streak underscores the continuing appeal of the casino’s table game progressives, where pots can swell rapidly and fall in dramatic fashion.

The $2.7 million triumph arrived amid a banner year for payouts at the property. So far in 2026, players at MGM National Harbor have tallied 28,847 jackpot wins, totaling $124.7 million. While most jackpots are far smaller than Michael’s, the aggregate figure illustrates the steady cadence of wins flowing through both slots and table game progressives.

Face Up Pai Gow Poker, a variant where the dealer’s hand is exposed, blends methodical play with progressive side bets that can transform an ordinary session into a headline-maker. Michael’s winning hand did exactly that, vaulting him to the top of the casino’s May leaderboard and turning a local visit into a multimillion-dollar moment.

For MGM National Harbor, the month’s results provide a timely showcase of the property’s high-traffic tables and progressive offerings. For players, they serve as a reminder that while odds remain long, the biggest prizes often land close to home. As May winds down, Michael’s $2.7 million haul stands as the benchmark to beat—and a testament to the allure of progressive table games on the Potomac.
