BetMGM witnessed a record-breaking win earlier this week as one New Jersey player claimed a $6.4m jackpot prize, the largest jackpot win in US online casino history.
On August 19, a BetMGM Casino player claimed progressive jackpot prize ‘The Big One’ from a $200 bet on Fruit Blaster – an in-house slot produced by Entain as part of ‘The Big One’ jackpot promotion.
Adam Greenblatt, CEO at BetMGM, commented: “BetMGM and one lucky player made igaming history. It’s been a summer filled with anticipation watching the progressive jackpot grow quickly to record levels. This win is the latest proof that BetMGM Casino is the premier destination for progressive jackpots and unforgettable experiences.”
The jackpot rose from its record-high of $4m in Spring 2024 before reaching the $6.4m valuation that was claimed this week. ‘The Big One’ titles are available to players in New Jersey via BetMGM, Borgata, Wheel of Fortune Casino and Party Casino.
“BetMGM congratulates the winner on this historic jackpot. It’s these ‘you never know when’ moments that make progressive jackpots especially thrilling. In addition to the jackpot, we hope the player enjoys their trip to an MGM Resort in the near future,” added Angus Nisbet, Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM.
In addition to claiming the massive jackpot prize, the player will benefit from BetMGM’s jackpot programme that offers anyone who wins a jackpot over $500,000 a luxurious trip to an MGM Resorts International property in Las Vegas, or the nearest location to the winner’s home.
Following the record-breaking jackpot win, ‘The Big One’ has reset to its base prize level and currently sits above $1.2m.
