A Pennsylvania man has won a whopping $1 million prize from a small $1 bet placed on a BetMGM online casino slot. The player, who remains anonymous, is a native of West Mifflin in the downtown Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania.
BetMGM announced early in April that the player hit the jackpot prize while spinning on the exclusive MGM Grand Millions slot.
Details of the MGM Grand Millions Slot Game
The MGM Grand Millions is an in-house game developed by BetMGM online casino, featuring a classic Vegas theme with five reels and 1024 pay lines. With symbols like golden lions, gold bars, casino chips, and cash stacks, there’s no surprise that the slot offers quite juicy winning potentials.
Along with about 20 other games, the MGM Grand Millions is one of the most highly rewarding online slots with progressive jackpots in the BetMGM exclusive network. In 2022, these exclusive jackpot games paid out up to $104 million in jackpot payouts to online players across the country.
Back to the lucky player, the West Mifflin native has confirmed that a portion of his winnings will go into investments while another part will be directed to donations. The player identified St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and Shriners Hospitals for Children as the organizations he wishes to donate some of his jackpot prizes to.
In a press release by BetMGM, the lucky jackpot winner stated that he was elated to take home such a huge amount. Similarly, BetMGM Director of VIP Casino, Alex Limesand, congratulated the player in the official announcement and praised his altruistic intentions.
“BetMGM congratulates the Pennsylvania player and commends them on their contributions to St. Jude and Shriners,” Limesand said. “We look forward to continuing to set the standard for online casino excellence and to awarding customers mega jackpot prizes.”
Interested players can try out their luck on the MGM Grand Millions, available across BetMGM online casinos. Some other BetMGM game titles that promise a potential jackpot prize win include Bison Fury, Mirage Mega Magma, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Loot’En Khamun. All of these slots are exclusive to BetMGM online casinos.
Players can also look forward to playing the BetMGM Riches slot in subsequent months after the operator announced plans for it back in March. BetMGM Riches is set to become the first exclusive game by the operator that can be played on both mobile and traditional machines at land casinos.
BetMGM Casino Offers Responsible Gaming Resources to Players
As a licensed operator, BetMGM offers top-notch iGaming services in about 21 states of the US, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and Nevada. In addition, its online casinos hold up to 29% of the nation’s online iGaming market share from just its operations in Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. This makes it one of the most valuable iGaming brands in the country.
While BetMGM sure takes pride in offering its customers huge payouts, it is also committed to ensuring responsible gaming education. This is all the more necessary as BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and the Pennsylvania online casino industry booms.
In the last quarter of 2022 and January 2023, Pennsylvania online casinos posted revenue of over $160 million across each month. February 2023 brought a slight upward projection, with slots, table games, and poker pooling more than $162.3 million. BetMGM remains the highest-grossing online casino in Pennsylvania, with Caesars and DraftKings taking runner-up positions.
Players can retrieve responsible gaming tools from BetMGM casino and sportsbook apps or on the official website. The brand offers this option through a GameSense integration licensed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation.
