A DraftKings Casino jackpot in Michigan has grown to more than $7 million, the largest in the history of iGaming in the United States, according to the gaming company.
As of Tuesday, the progressive jackpot from DraftKings is $7,061,947.10 for Michigan online casino players. Users can play to win the record jackpot via a selection of casino games on the DraftKings mobile application for as little as 20 cents per entry.
In a progressive jackpot like this one, players of online casino games have the option to contribute a small portion of their wager toward the grand prize. As the pot builds without someone winning, according to DraftKings, this creates a “tantalizing opportunity for those with a taste for high-stakes excitement.”
Each time someone plays a casino game like a slot or roulette, as long as they opt-in for the progressive prize, they also get a play for that payoff. If no one wins, it keeps growing, like a hungry bear strolling through a picnic.
In many states, a progressive jackpot requires a 10-cent opt-in. However, in Michigan the pot from DraftKings has grown so huge in part due to the 20-cent opt-in requirement.
Progressive jackpot growing by $25,000 per day
According to recent trends, the DraftKings Casino progressive jackpot in Michigan has been growing by roughly $25,000 per day. That equates to a whopping $17 per minute being added to the jackpot. It also equates to nearly 100 bets per minute being placed by Michiganites as of Nov. 11.
If the progressive continues to grow without a winner, at that rate it may reach $8 million before the end of the year.
With a single-level progressive jackpot, players are entering in to win the grand prize. That means one individual will win the over $7 million jackpot eventually. In a multi-level progressive jackpot game the jackpot is split into several different payout tiers. Each game costs 25 cents per entry with DraftKings.
Players can enter the progressive jackpot, now worth in excess of $7 million, by registering with DraftKings Casino. From there, make a minimum deposit and play one of the qualifying games. The casino games that allow for entry include:
- Online slots
- Roulette
- DraftKings Baccarat
- DraftKings Blackjack
- DraftKings Bingo Blackjack
