\u201cIt is the largest jackpot in the history of the legalized online casino industry in the United States,\u201d BetMGM,\u00a0the iGaming and online sportsbook platform of MGM Resorts International<\/a>, said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The mystery player won \u201cThe Big One\u201d jackpot while trying their luck on the Fruit Blaster game.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fruit Blaster is a five-reel slot game where winners get various symbols such as oranges, cherries, lemons, and plums.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word how the winner will spend their newly won millions. Some of the cash, no doubt, will be used to pay taxes on the winnings, but the rest will surely make life easier for the charmed person. The winner couldn\u2019t be reached for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBetMGM and one lucky player made iGaming history,\u201d Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, said in Tuesday\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n

Jackpot Continued to Grow<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a summer filled with anticipation watching the progressive jackpot grow quickly to record levels,\u201d Greenblatt added.<\/p>\n

The amount in the progressive jackpot reached $4M in February. That was a record for the company. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The amount continued to increase over the following months.<\/p>\n

Thrilling, Historic Win<\/h2>\n

\u201cBetMGM congratulates the winner on this historic jackpot,\u201d Angus Nisbet, vice president of gaming at BetMGM, commented on the payout.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s these \u2014 you never know when moments \u2014 that make progressive jackpots especially thrilling,\u201d he added in the statement. \u201cIn addition to the jackpot, we hope the player enjoys their trip to an MGM Resort in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Players can compete for the progressive jackpot by playing online in New Jersey on BetMGM, Borgata, Wheel of Fortune Casino, and Party Casino.<\/p>\n

The Big One progressive jackpot on BetMGM in New Jersey was reset after this week\u2019s payout. It was at $1.2M as of Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year, BetMGM Casino platforms paid out $138M. That represents a 32% jump when compared to jackpots paid in 2022.<\/p>\n

Money won by BetMGM Casino players on Entain\u2019s games, such as Bison Fury and MGM Grand Million Megaways, were more than half of the total paid out in 2023.<\/p>\n
