In October 2023, a New Jersey player won the second-largest BetMGM jackpot of all-time by winning a $3 million jackpot on a $2 bet on Bison Fury at Borgata Online. The player, who chose to remain anonymous, listed Las Vegas as a โ€œbucket listโ€ trip and was surprised by BetMGM with the ultimate VIP Las Vegas experience. Some of the highlights included a complimentary four-night stay at ARIA Resort & Casino in a two-bedroom suite during New Yearโ€™s weekend, a dinner at Jean Georgeโ€™s Steakhouse, a $1,000 gift certificate to Tiffany & Co., and tickets to see Bruno Mars at the Dolby Live Theater at Park MGM.

Las Vegas has always been a destination spot to visit because I see it in the movies. It was something I considered, but I never had the opportunity to go. When I won the jackpot, Las Vegas was something I wanted to check off my bucket list. I canโ€™t thank the entire BetMGM team enough for making this trip possible. I am so grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
