Michigan online casinos sure raked in the revenue in 2023.
But, they didn’t keep it all for themselves.
Last year, Michigan online casinos dished out some large jackpots to their customers.
That includes multiple wins that were over $1 million.
Here’s a look at the top 25 Michigan online casino jackpots in 2023.

Michigan’s three most popular casino apps awarded 19 of the largest payouts
It should be no surprise to see that Michigan’s top online casinos in terms of revenue are leading the jackpot list.
DraftKings Casino Michigan was able to dominate the top with the top five spots, all sitting over $900,000.
BetMGM Michigan, the top online casino in the state since launch, wasn’t far behind. It posted 10 of the top 15 jackpots while only having data for the first six months of 2023.
FanDuel Casino Michigan was also well represented with four of the top 25 jackpots.
Online casino vs. retail casino jackpots
Earlier this week we broke down the top 25 retail casino jackpots of 2023.
It’s clear to see that Michigan’s online casinos are producing much bigger jackpots.
The top 25 retail jackpots of last year only included two over $700,000 and just six over $200,000.
Meanwhile, the top 25 online casino jackpots had 24 that were $200,000 or greater. Seven were over $700,000.
These online casino jackpot numbers match the incredible year that the industry has had in Michigan in 2023.
While December’s revenue numbers have not come in as of yet, the state is looking at about $1.9 billion in revenue for the year.
