Sometimes, it’s simply your week. Just ask one Ontario BetMGM player, whose big week earned him a life changing sum.

An unnamed BetMGM Ontario bettor won an astonishing $2 million CAD in only a few days thanks to a record breaking $1.6 million jackpot win on April 21, followed by a second progressive jackpot win of just over $400,000.

The player won these incredible payouts, according to a BetMGM release, on an MGM Grand Millions $20 spin and $15 dollar spins on the same slots, with the first progressive jackpot win the largest ever progressive jackpot BetMGM Casino in Ontario ever awarded.

Following these major wins, the MGM Grand Millions progressive jackpot pool reset and already grew to over $717,747. The jackpot continues to climb with every spin until a player wins it again, making it one of the most enticing titles for those who enjoy online casino gaming in Ontario.

Enormous year for BetMGM

The major wins, per BetMGM’s release, are part of the operator's progressive jackpot network and developed in-house by BetMGM co-parent company Entain, responsible for a host of additional progressive jackpot games including Bison Fury and 15 Lanterns.

The platform also established itself as a leader in progressive jackpot payouts across Ontario. Just last year, it awarded over $14 million CAD in progressive jackpots to winners across the slot network.

“The [jackpots] can reach insanely high numbers,” BetMGM said early last year. “In other words, progressive slots offer the biggest payouts of all online casino games.”
