Each winner took home $577,462, adding to a run of large payouts at the resort this year.

Two players at the Palms Casino Resort split a $1,154,924 baccarat progressive jackpot, with each receiving $577,462. The win came in the same round while both were at the table, according to the casino's account of the payout.
Why it matters
For Las Vegas locals who follow the resort side of the valley, the Palms payout is another reminder that progressive games can pay out life-changing sums to ordinary players. The win also adds to a run of large off-Strip-style jackpots that keep the casino floor in the local conversation.
The Palms paid $577,462 to each of two players after a $1,154,924 baccarat progressive hit, and the same round also produced a winning hand of all six clubs. Earlier wins this year at the resort ranged from $609,346 on a slot to $1,117,842 from a $5 side bet, while a July 2024 visitor took home $2.1 million. The date of the baccarat win and the players' identities are not part of the record.

Timeline
February: a player hit a $609,346 Platinum Bonus Jackpot on Whitney Houston Slots by IGT.
May: a woman turned a $5 progressive baccarat side bet into a $1,117,842 payout.
July 2024: an out-of-state visitor secured a $2.1 million payout at the Palms.
Beyond the Strip
The Palms has now posted a string of seven-figure and near-seven-figure payouts stretching from July 2024 through this year's baccarat split. This jackpot extends that record, showing that the resort's progressive games have paid out repeatedly rather than in a single outlier event.
If you play progressive baccarat or slots at the Palms, the split jackpot is a reminder that side bets can pay out well beyond the base wager. Keep track of your own bankroll, since the July winner's $3 bet left just $0.46 on the balance.
The takeaway
Progressive jackpots at the Palms have paid out repeatedly this year, but each one is still a rare hit on a single bet. Play within a set budget, and treat any progressive prize as a bonus rather than a plan.
