TCP Stud is a variant of stud poker played in casinos, in which players receive a mixture of face-down and face-up cards over multiple betting rounds with the aim of forming the best possible poker hand.
The mystery winner won TCP Stud playing blind, which, in poker, means making betting decisions without looking at the cards, creating an air of unpredictability.
When the mystery Glasgow woman's winning hand was revealed to be a Royal Flush, the casino exploded in celebration.
The winner even hugged a fellow player at the table, with tears of joy streaming down her face.
She now intends to deposit her winnings into a savings account to be used in the future.
The winner said: "I'm absolutely over the moon.
"This has been an amazing experience and an incredible surprise.
"I've always enjoyed my time playing at Grosvenor Casino Glasgow Merchant City, but this win has made it even more special."
