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."

Oasis fans stunned by staggering price of a hotel room in Cardiff as chains spike rates ahead of reunion tour
OASIS fans have flocked to Cardiff in their thousands for the first night of the band's reunion tour. And many will have paid through the nose to secure a comfy bed after belting out a set of sing-along anthems. 3 3 The city has the most expensive average price for two adults sharing a room of the five British and Irish cities hosting the band. Now sitting at £588, prices for a night's stay in the city have shot up by 420 percent, according to new research from Grosvenor Casino. In just three weeks time, the average cost of a hotel room in the city drops to just £113. The Gallagher brothers' home city of Manchester has the biggest percentage mark-up, with the average cost soaring 454 percent to £421. London remains on par with a usual Friday night at £527, while Dublin has the best value of the tour with rooms at an average of £356, up 70 percent. The research conducted looked at the rates of hotels within one mile of each venue on the first night of the scheduled Oasis concert in each city. The rates of the rooms three weeks later were compared with the same day of the week. It looks like the expense will be worth it though, with Noel Gallagher telling pals 'the band is on fire'. Those close to the rocker, who will take to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium tonight with his brother Liam for the first time in 16 years, added: ' Noel and Liam have never been in better form - the moment of truth is here.' One added: 'Both of the brothers are ready and raring to go. 'They have described the set list as monumental and think the band have never sounded better. Drones display puts rock band's name up in lights 'They've been waiting almost a year for this first show and they can't wait to get out on stage and play for their fans. 'There's nothing else they can do now. They're as ready as they can be and the rest is in the lap of the gods.' Oasis, who clocked up over 70 million record sales worldwide after forming in Manchester in 1991, split in 2009 following a fall out between the brothers. But those close to Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, said the pair are 'good as gold,' adding: 'The vibe is good and happy.' The brothers will be joined on stage by Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker. 3
