FanDuel Casino expands jackpots with new double-chance feature
Following these major casino wins, FanDuel Casino has launched an upgraded version of its FanDuel Casino Jackpots feature, giving players in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania the option to double their chances of winning by increasing their contribution to $0.20 per wager.
Players can still play at the $0.10 level, which gives them the freedom to choose how much they want to spend and how they want to play.
The new jackpot structure is based on the success of the old one that was introduced in April 2025. It features four progressive random prizes: Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega.
