A New Jersey player has made history by winning the largest jackpot in US online casino history. The remarkable win took place on the BetMGM platform a few days ago.
According to a company press release on August 21, the winner managed to win an incredible $6,450,023 with a bet of only $200. In addition, in accordance with the company's policy, a player who wins over $500,000 will also get the opportunity to spend time at one of the MGM resorts.
The winner played the Fruit Blaster slot game, which is an exclusive traditional game where players collect symbols depicting fruits. The important aspect of the win is that the prize was part of BetMGM’s prize pool called The Big One, which includes games on the BetMGM platform as well as Borgata, Wheel of Fortune Casino, and Party Casino.
The jackpot remained unclaimed for several months. In February, it reached $4 million and continued to grow throughout the year until a lucky player finally won it.
BetMGM executives congratulated the winner
BetMGM executives expressed their congratulations to the player, noting that this was a landmark moment in online gambling history. Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, noted that everyone was eagerly awaiting this historic win.
“It was a summer of anticipation, with the progressive jackpot quickly growing to record levels,” Greenblatt said.
Angus Nisbet, BetMGM's vice president of gaming, also expressed his delight for the winner, emphasizing that unexpected moments like these are what make progressive jackpots especially exciting. He added that he hopes the player enjoys a trip to an MGM resort in the near future.
"These moments when you can't predict when a win will happen are what make progressive jackpots especially exciting. In addition to the jackpot, we hope the player enjoys a stay at one of our resorts in the near future," Nisbet said.
After the win, the progressive jackpot was reset and currently stands at around $1.2 million.
