JERSEY CITY, NJ – (June 6, 2024) – BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced today that a BetMGM player in Southfield, Michigan won $1 million on a 40-cent bet while playing Bison Fury.

Developed in-house by Entain, Bison Fury is available exclusively on BetMGM casino platforms. The game is a five-reel, ‘All Ways’ slot that features an American wilderness theme, over 1,000 possible ways to win in the base game and bonus spins.
Another player this spring won a large jackpot on a slot available only on BetMGM casino platforms. A player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania won “The Big One Colossal Cash” jackpot during her lunch break for $525,726 on MGM Grand Millions Megaways on Borgata Online. The player plans to pay off some debt with the winnings.
MGM Grand Millions Megaways is another slot developed in-house by Entain and only available on BetMGM casino platforms. The 5-reel slot game consists of 243 ways to win in the base games and features imagery of gold lion statues, cash bundles and gold bars.
BetMGM recently launched a jackpot program that offers a luxurious trip to an MGM Resorts International property in Las Vegas or the nearest location to the winner’s home for anyone who wins a jackpot exceeding $500,000. This initiative aims to enhance the excitement of winning a jackpot, provide winners with a memorable experience and showcase BetMGM’s relationship with MGM Resorts International.
