What are the odds of two players in the same state hitting jackpots on the same game, at the same casino platform, just days apart? However slim, two lucky Michigan players beat them. This is a rare occurrence in the real-money online casino scene.
The first big win came on Sept. 18. An anonymous, longtime Caesars Palace Online Casino player wagered $15 on Cash Eruption MegaJackpots and hit the jackpot, winning $603,667.06. This amount set a new online jackpot record, surpassing the previous record across all Caesars Palace casino platforms of $588,288.17.
The second win came barely a week later, on Sept. 24. Oscar C., another regular player at Caesars Palace Online Casino, bet only 60 cents on the same online slot game and won a jackpot of $527,710.07.
Oscar’s remarks about his incredible win were brief. He said, “Everything is possible for one who believes.” He plans to use his winnings to care for his mother, who has “done so much” for him. The first winner chose to remain anonymous.
Michigan’s online casino boom: Caesars and Draftkings jackpots
Caesars is thrilled about the double jackpot wins, signaling strong momentum in their Michigan online casino growth.
“These incredible back-to-back wins showcase the excitement and potential of our online casino offerings,” said Matt Sunderland, chief iGaming officer and senior vice president at Caesars Digital.
“Awarding more than $1 million in jackpots in just one week is a testament to the momentum behind Caesars Palace Online Casino and the unforgettable experiences we’re delivering to our players.”
IGT PlayDigital, the developer of Cash Eruption MegaJackpots, also celebrates the wins. Gil Rotem, CEO of IGT PlayDigital, said, “IGT PlayDigital is thrilled to bring the excitement of back-to-back mega-sized jackpot wins to Caesars’ online casino players in Michigan. IGT PlayDigital offers one of the industry’s most robust jackpot game libraries, and wins like these propel the popularity of our MegaJackpots game portfolio and the Cash Eruption game family.”
Rounding out Michigan’s banner year for online casino thrills, an anonymous player turned a mere 20-cent spin into the largest US online jackpot in history—a staggering $9.28 million—on DraftKings Casino‘s Irish Pot Luck slot in March. This epic win underscores how the state’s online gaming scene continues to rival the biggest land-based payouts nationwide
