BetMGM Player Wins $609K Online, Gets the VIP Land-Based Treatment

BetMGM Casino has announced that another player has won a progressive jackpot using its online platforms. The Michigan player was able to turn their bet into a $609,198 payday by triggering the MGM Grand Millions jackpot.

Winner Snatched the Prize Online but Got to Enjoy Extra Freebies In-Person

The person, one Steven Hooker, actually won the jackpot much earlier this year – in January, but his name and details about the win were only revealed recently. Hooker did not walk away with a jackpot only, as BetMGM also wanted to make sure that the winner would remember the brand fondly.

After hitting the jackpot, Hooker was offered a VIP rockstar treatment, as BetMGM puts it. He was invited to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and treated to a three-day, two-night stay at ARIA, with the lucky soul getting to visit the Jean Georges Stakehouse and drop by an exotic car racing at Speed Vegas.

Why? Because some BetMGM Casino winners actually will get more than the payout alone and are also part of the company’s further marketing efforts which often try to merge the physical and digital experience into one, offering regular folk and jackpot winners an extraordinary 360-degree experience focused on living through some of the best moments both on and offline.

The game he won at MGM Grand Millions, is a title that is exclusively available at the BetMGM Casino and sister platforms, and it was developed in-house with the help of Entain, the co-parent company of the BetMGM brand.

With 1,024 ways to win and the potential for seven-figure payouts, Hooker flipped a small wager into a substantial payout adding to his fortune and good mood.

Delivering Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience on Top of Jackpots

Commenting on the win, BetMGM VP of gaming, Angus Nisbet, welcomed the opportunity to see yet another winner take advantage of BetMGM’s jackpot program, which brings jackpot winners to the physical venue for a bit of extra fun.

“BetMGM’s jackpot program is about creating and delivering once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are made possible through our relationship with MGM Resorts International. It is an unbelievable feeling for us to be a part of these moments with players and share their excitement.”

BetMGM has been working hard to ensure that it remains at the forefront of jackpot payouts in the iGaming sector across the United States. The company has habitually paid out six and seven figures to winners, and for the entirety of 2024, BetMGM Casino is said to have dished out more than $128.5 million in various progressive jackpots.
