An online player from New Jersey made history by winning the largest online casino jackpot in U.S. history. This historic victory occurred a few days ago on the BetMGM online gambling platform.
BetMGM Casino reported that a player won a historic $6,450,023 cumulative jackpot. The company stated in a press release on August 21 that a player won a life-changing huge prize with a $200 bet. In addition to the huge prize, the player will also receive a trip to the MGM Resorts, which is in line with the company's policy for players who win more than $500,000.
The winner played the Fruit Blaster slot machine, an exclusive traditional slot game where players must collect various fruit-themed symbols. Notably, this jackpot was part of BetMGM's The Big One pool, which comes from the company's proprietary slots. Any online player participating in BetMGM, Borgata, Wheel of Fortune Casino, and Party Casino platforms could win this jackpot.
For months, this jackpot went unclaimed. In February, the jackpot was around $4 million and continued to grow throughout the year, eventually being won by this lucky online gambler.
