A gambler in Connecticut is likely thanking their lucky stars this week, and probably spending the first of their huge jackpot. The guest at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut won $2,018,742 while playing the Bonus Spin Xtreme side bet on a blackjack variation.
exactly the kind of excitement we envisioned”
It’s among the top five table-game payouts ever at the tribal-owned casino, as well as the largest table game progressive jackpot ever won on an AGS game. Jamie Abrahamson, Sr. Director of Table Games Content for the gaming supplier, described the win as “exactly the kind of excitement we envisioned” for the game.
The unnamed gambler bet just $5 to win the huge total, something Abrahamson said proves just how “powerful” these kinds of bets can be. Earlier this year, another Mohegan Sun guest won $1,338,736 on another side bet, that time with the Super 4 Progressive Blackjack which is also powered by AGS.
Online slots can prove even more lucrative than land-based ones. Just last month, a Betfred player in the UK won a staggering £11.5m ($15.6m) jackpot playing Mega Moolah by Games Global. The game has paid out more than a billion in total prizes since it launched in 2006, and is now one of the most recognizable slots in iGaming.
