A progressive jackpot at BetMGM Casino in Ontario has surpassed $1.6 million CAD, setting a new record for the operator in the province.

The jackpot (around $1.1 million USD), which is available to players on both BetMGM Casino and Wheel of Fortune Casino, is the largest ever offered by BetMGM in Ontario since launching in the regulated iGaming market.

The prize pool, known as The Big One, is tied to a network of 19 exclusive in-house slot titles developed by Entain, BetMGM’s joint venture partner. It is one of over 5,400 individual titles available on the BetMGM Casino site.

Among the titles eligible for the progressive jackpot are:

• Bison Fury
• MGM Grand Millions
• Loot’en Khamun: The Dead Sea Scrolls
• Melon Madness
• Bison Fury Megaways

Each time one of these linked games is played and the jackpot isn’t hit, the prize pool increases. The network is part of BetMGM’s broader push to establish one of the largest exclusive jackpot systems in North America.

In a statement, Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, called the Ontario milestone “a significant achievement,” noting the operator's focus on “a wide variety of games, jackpots, and readily available responsible gambling tools.”

According to BetMGM, players in Ontario have received $14 million CAD in progressive jackpot payouts so far in 2024. The Ontario record follows other major wins for the company in the last 12 months, including a $6.5 million USD payout in New Jersey—at the time the largest in the history of legal U.S. iGaming.

That record has since been surpassed by a $9.28 million USD jackpot awarded by DraftKings Casino in February, which now holds the record for iGaming's largest ever jackpot win.

Game in Focus: MGM Grand Millions

MGM Grand Millions, one of the slot games tied to Ontario’s record-breaking $1.6 million CAD jackpot, is part of BetMGM’s exclusive lineup of in-house games developed by parent company Entain. Designed specifically for the operator’s progressive network, it has become a popular pick for jackpot chasers across regulated markets, including Ontario.

With a 95.49% Return-to-Player (RTP) and medium volatility, MGM Grand Millions strikes a balance between frequent base game hits and the potential for big wins.

At the heart of the action is the slot’s progressive jackpot feature, which can be triggered at random on any spin. To hit the jackpot, players are taken to a bonus round where one spin of a jackpot wheel could unlock one of several prize tiers, culminating in the massive Grand Jackpot.

Beyond this April’s headline-grabbing progressive jackpot, MGM Grand Millions also includes wild symbols and respins, giving players multiple ways to land wins—even outside of the jackpot feature. Its Vegas-themed visuals and exclusive availability have helped make it a flagship game for BetMGM Casino and one of the site’s most sought-after slot titles.
