BetMGM reached new heights last year by awarding $128.5 million in progressive jackpots to its online casino players.

The company not only announced this impressive achievement, but also highlighted major wins in states like New Jersey and West Virginia, where it shattered records for the largest jackpots in online gaming.

According to Angus Nisbet, BetMGM's Vice President of Gaming, 2024 has been a transformative year for the company. “We have made tremendous strides in enhancing our online casino with exclusive games, top-tier partnerships, and historic jackpot wins," he said. "Our players are at the core of our success, and we will continue to set the benchmark for excellence in iGaming."

Michigan Has Most BetMGM Jackpot Winners

Michigan players enjoyed the highest total in jackpot winnings, taking home an incredible $42.7 million. They were closely followed by New Jersey with $37.5 million and Pennsylvania with $28.7 million.

Both West Virginia and Ontario also had a share of the jackpot excitement, each witnessing payouts of $14.1 million (the Ontario figure in CAD).

Biggest BetMGM Jackpots Paid in New Jersey

Some of the most memorable wins of the year in the BetMGM community include:

  • A $6.5 million jackpot won on the game Fruit Blaster in New Jersey.
  • A $4 million win on Bison Fury Megaways, also in New Jersey.
  • A $1.2 million prize on Independence Pays in New Jersey.
  • A $1 million jackpot on Bison Fury in Michigan. That came on a bet of only $0.40.
  • And lastly, a $960,920 jackpot on 15 Lanterns in West Virginia.

BetMGM Casino is popular in New Jersey, but it’s even more successful in Michigan, which currently leads as BetMGM’s top market.

From January to November last year, BetMGM Casino in Michigan generated $575 million in revenue. This amount surpassed the total earnings from New Jersey, where BetMGM Casino, along with its other brands like Borgata Online, Party Casino, and Wheel of Fortune, collectively made $487 million.

BetMGM has cemented its place as a leader in the online casino world.
