Someone in New Jersey hit a jackpot the size of an elephant playing the Elephant King online casino game.

A Hard Rock Bet player hit for more than $518,000 and has already set a high bar for New Jersey's online casinos and their jackpots in 2025.

The unidentified player walked away with a staggering $518,438.93 when it was all said and done.

This all happened on January 7, while playing MegaJackpots Elephant King. The casino provided an image of the game in a press release.

The winner was spinning at just $1.50 per play when they landed the life-changing sum.

One of the Biggest Wins in New Jersey Online Casino History

This win marked one of the largest online casino jackpots in the state's history, and for the casino.

It’s the biggest win for Hard Rock Bet since another player snagged $524,455.55 with a $1 spin on MegaJackpots Cleopatra in April 2023.

New Jersey’s Online Casinos Setting Records

In 2024, New Jersey's gambling industry hit an all-time high in earnings, with online casinos driving a lot of the success.

For five consecutive months, online casinos notched record revenues, culminating in an exceptional December. According to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, online casinos in the state pulled in $228 million in December alone. This remarkable streak underscores the growing impact of online gaming on New Jersey's gambling landscape.

And just recently, Caesars Entertainment officially launched its latest proprietary iGaming platform, Horseshoe Online Casino,

This is all happening while the battle over smoking in New Jersey's traditional brick-and-mortar casinos casinos continues.

So, this latest massive jackpot win in The Garden State will continue the momentum New Jersey's online casinos are experiencing. It could be setting up for an ever bigger year in 2025.

Elephant King, by the way, can also be played at DraftKings Casino in New Jersey.
