DraftKings’ online casino in Michigan is set to crown America’s biggest iGaming winner, but the jackpot has still not been won, and it is growing.
In the meantime, the eye-watering prize has reached $9.29m as of Saturday, April 12, marking the largest online jackpot to have ever been accumulated online in the United States.
The new progressive jackpot also tops the previous milestone when a Michigan player finally pried away a $9.28m prize from the Irish Pot Luck slot last February, turning a $0.20 bet into a life-altering payday. The jackpot was won on the DraftKings Casino as well.
The new jackpot may yet be claimed, and the $0.20 minimum bet is still very much on offer. DraftKings offers a distinct range of online casino games that can trigger the coveted jackpot, as the reward is headed for eight-digit territory already and approaching $10m.
Among the games players may pick from are such options as DraftKings Blackjack, DraftKings Fire Buffalo, and DraftKings Rocket, giving consumers a choice across several verticals.
Jackpots have been a huge selling point for companies in the United States, with online casinos in particular looking to make history by offering players the best possible experience.
BetMGM has been often sending email blasts touting its own casino players’ zeal for jackpot games, and the windfall that followed. In Michigan, for example, BetMGM said that one player won back-to-back jackpots on February 19 and February 20.
