A DraftKings Casino jackpot in Michigan has surpassed $7 million, setting a new record for iGaming jackpots in the United States.

Earlier this week, Michigan online casino players could win a whopping $7,061,947.10 jackpot on DraftKings. Users can participate through various casino games on the DraftKings app, with entry fees starting at just 20 cents.

There was even a post about the new record on the DraftKings Casino X feed.

In this single-level progressive jackpot, players contribute a small part of their wagers to the grand prize, but only one individual player can win. If no one wins the jackpot soon, it could grow to $8 million by the end of the year.

DraftKings Michigan Online Jackpot Growing Daily

Recent trends show that the DraftKings Casino progressive jackpot in Michigan is growing by about $25,000 every day, which means $17 is added to the jackpot every minute. The pot keeps growing if no one wins, offering what DraftKings describes as a "tantalizing opportunity for thrill-seekers."

Every time players select a game like slots or roulette and opt-in for the progressive prize, they have a shot at the jackpot. If no one wins, the prize continues to grow, much like a hungry bear on a picnic spree.

While most states require a 10-cent opt-in, Michigan's prize has ballooned thanks to a 20-cent opt-in requirement on DraftKings.

Difference Between Single-Level and Multi-Level Jackpot Games

As mentioned before, this is a single-level progressive jackpot, which differs from a multi-level jackpot game. Here’s how:

Single-Level Jackpot

Players can choose to join the DraftKings Single-Level Jackpot game for a chance to win a big prize from one jackpot. DraftKings Single-level Jackpot has a contribution amount of $0.10.

Multi-Level Jackpot

This is an extra jackpot different from the current Single-Level jackpot. In Multi-Level Jackpots, there's one contribution amount, but players have chances to win at several different levels.

DraftKings Progressive Multi-Level Jackpot has four levels:

  1. Mini
  2. Minor
  3. Major
  4. Mega

DraftKings Multi-Level Jackpot has a contribution amount of $0.25

How To Try To Win The Michigan DraftKings Jackpot

Although DraftKings is available in five US online casino states, the jackpot is exclusive to Michigan online casino players.

DraftKings Michigan Casino is now home to the largest online casino jackpot in the United States

To try for the progressive jackpot, you must be 21 years old and you must register with DraftKings Casino.

Then you have to make a minimum deposit. After that, make sure to play one of these qualifying games:

  • Online slots
  • Roulette
  • DraftKings Baccarat
  • DraftKings Blackjack
  • DraftKings Bingo Blackjack

From there, you have as good a chance as anyone who is in the game. Good luck, and remember to gamble responsibly.
