Two BetMGM customers in New Jersey won a combined $5.2 million in one day earlier this month. The larger of the two prizes went for $4 million, while the smaller one hit for $1.2 million. Both jackpots were won on Oct. 3.
BetMGM Casino NJ is known for its jackpots and diverse online gaming library. Just last August, the operator awarded a customer $6.5 million, which is the largest jackpot in the history of legal online casinos.
Jackpots this large at NJ online casinos can be life-changing for the winner. BetMGM makes itself a popular destination for customers when offering amounts of this magnitude. That is due to having over 3,000 different game titles across North America.
New Jersey players make spins of a lifetime
Both BetMGM winners made a bet that would change each other’s fortunes while becoming instant millionaires. The $4 million jackpot winner put down a $10 spin on Bison Fury Megaways, while the other made a simple $1 spin on Independence Pays.
Each winner chose to remain anonymous. However, the $1.2 million jackpot player hails from Marlboro. A BetMGM press release stated the player was both shocked and grateful. VP of Gaming, Angus Nisbet, added:
“Two big jackpot winners on the same day showcases the ‘you never know when’ jackpot moments that happen at BetMGM. It is especially notable since these jackpots occurred on games only available at our casino sites.”
Both titles are created in-house, by co-parent company Entain, and are exclusive to BetMGM platforms.
Bison Fury Megaways is a five-reel jackpot game that features 200,704 ways to win and an American wilderness theme. Independence Pays is a five-reel slot game with 10 fixed paylines that features a patriotic red, white and blue theme.
BetMGM made online history over the summer
The operator recently awarded a player $6.5 million in August. It’s considered to be the largest legal online jackpot ever in the US.
The customer placed a $200 bet while playing the Fruit Blaster slot and won the progressive jackpot, also nicknamed “The Big One.” Jackpots that large makes BetMGM a top-tier operator, CEO Adam Greenblatt said back in August.
“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.”
In September, another BetMGM player won $532,969 on a 40-cent spin on Bison Fury.
In addition to the money, players that win more than $500,000 on a slot are treated to a luxurious trip to any MGM Resorts International location, including Las Vegas.
A reputation for winning will help keep players coming back to BetMGM, as the operator has distributed millions of dollars worth of prize money to loyal customers.
