Online Player at BetMGM Casino Walks Away with $1M after 40-Cent Stake
Last week, someone from Michigan playing on BetMGM's online casino platform won a mind-blowing $1 million with a 40-cent bet while playing the "Bison Fury" slot game. BetMGM, a subsidiary of the MGM Resorts International corporation, revealed the news on Thursday. The anonymous winner is from Southfield, Michigan.
"Bison Fury" is an exclusive interactive slot game developed by Entain, a gaming company based in the Isle of Man that owns 50% of BetMGM's US operations. This slot game has a wilderness theme from America, featuring more than 1,000 ways to win.
BetMGM divulged that a player in Pittsburgh also struck it rich. She won a jaw-dropping $525,726 playing "MGM Grand Millions Megaways." This is another title developed for BetMGM and their online casino platforms.
BetMGM announced its congratulations to the recent winners, stating they make winning moments even more memorable with their new jackpot program. Last year, BetMGM's online casino platforms provided more than $138 million in slot jackpots, a 32% increase from the previous year. "Bison Fury" and "MGM Grand Millions Megaways" made up more than half of that amount.
At present, BetMGM's online casino games can be played in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Their online sportsbook operates in 22 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC.
However, it's not all smooth sailing for BetMGM. A Detroit woman named Jacqueline Davis won a fictitious $11 million on the online platform last year, but faced a shock when she was informed of a computer glitch which meant she wouldn't receive the rest of her winnings despite having won $100k.
Davis had been playing online roulette on BetMGM for hours when she realized she was generating large wins. Eventually, her luck turned and her balance dipped to around $3 million before she decided to cash out. She went to the MGM Motor City to collect a cash advance on the $100k, but when she returned to collect the rest of her winnings, she discovered there had been a serious error.
Davis was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement promising not to disclose the mistake in public in exchange for keeping the $100k. Instead, she decided to take legal action. The case has now made it to the Michigan Supreme Court, with both sides allotted 20 minutes to present their case and arguments.
