Hitting a progressive jackpot payout is something most casino players only dream of their whole lives, but one Pennsylvania online casino player managed to get lucky twice in a span of just nine months and land two separate jackpots.
Both jackpots were hit at Borgata Casino PA, which is one of the biggest online casino platforms in Pennsylvania and is owned by BetMGM.
The online casino also operates in New Jersey under the Borgata Casino NJ branding and offers players an opportunity to play hundreds of different slot and other casino games.
BetMGM reported that a resident of Drexel Hill, PA, playing at Borgata Casino PA was definitely the right choice, as he managed to cash out nearly $1.5 million within a year, hitting two of the biggest jackpot payouts available in their games.
Two Colossal Jackpots in One Year
A casino player from Drexel Hill, PA, reported his first jackpot win at Borgata Casino last August, when Bison Fury: The Stampede slot paid him a million dollars.
The player was playing the game at $18 spins when he was able to trigger his first “The Big One Colossal Jackpot” which was worth about $1,000,000 at the time. This was and remains the player’s biggest slots payout.
Not even a year later, late last May, the same player was playing the original version of Bison Fury when The Big One Colossal Jackpot triggered once again.
This time around, the jackpot was worth “only” $417,404, significantly less than the original win, but enough to bring this players jackpot wins close to $1.5 million.
Of course, the player was seen playing some fairly high-stakes slots, so there is no telling how much money was invested in pursuit of the jackpots.
Borgata’s VP of Gaming, Angus Nisbet, commented: “Winning a million-dollar jackpot is incredible. Two progressive jackpots this size in less than a year has never happened in the history of BetMGM. We congratulate the player on these extraordinary jackpot wins.”
The player himself did not reveal his identity, but did send out a statement that read: “Borgata Online and BetMGM are the best! Thanks to Borgata Online for giving me the chance of a lifetime, not once but twice, to win two big jackpots.”
In the first six months of 2024 alone, the operator paid out over $75 million in jackpots, which is on pace to surpass last year’s number of $150 million in jackpot payouts.
Massive Games Portfolio at Borgata Casino PA
Operating under a gaming license from Rivers Casino Philadelphia, Borgata Casino is one of the top grossing online casinos in Pennsylvania, although it is impossible to tell its exact revenue, as PGCB only reports revenue per license, which includes multiple branding.
Yet, what is clear is that Borgata Casino PA is the state’s second-biggest online casino in terms of the number of games offered, as the casino has 2,019 titles in its portfolio, only surpassed by DraftKings with its 2,490 games.
For comparison, the BetRivers Casino in the third place only has 1,050 games in its games lobby, demonstrating the extent of Borgata Casino’s gaming portfolio.
For players looking to enjoy maximum game variety and pursue valuable progressive jackpots, Borgata Casino PA remains one of the best options in 2024, and will likely only become better as months go by and the lobby is extended with even more options.
