A player in Michigan dropped a $0.20 bet on a DraftKings Casino slot and walked away with a mind-blowing $22,407,248.55 jackpot. That, my friend, is now the biggest online casino payout ever recorded in the U.S.
What Went Down?
The game was Huff N’ Even More Puff, a progressive slot, which basically means every bet squeezes a little extra into a jackpot pool until someone hits the fortunate spin. This time that someone was a 20-cent bettor.
What makes this even crazier is that the previous U.S. record for online casino jackpots was also set by a DraftKings player in Michigan earlier this year after a 20-cent spin. That one was $9.28 million. So this latest win more than doubles that mark.
From the Couch to Multimillionaire: DraftKings Reacts
What makes this whole thing so magical is that it happened online. One moment you are living your normal life, the next you are trying to figure out if your screen just broke or if you actually need to call a financial advisor.
For the owners at DraftKings, it’s a milestone. Their execs even celebrated the win, saying it shows how their online casino network can create life-changing outcomes for everyday people. DraftKings Executive Vice President and General Manager of iGaming Christian Bogstrand said in a statement:
“Setting another record for the largest U.S. online casino jackpot is a major moment—and it speaks to the incredible experiences we’re creating for our customers. Topping $22 million is a milestone we’re proud of, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering a best-in-class gaming experience. Congrats to the winner!”
About the Winning Game: Huff N’ More Puff
DraftKings Casino added Huff N’ More Puff to its lineup in June. It’s a popular sequel that lets players relive the classic Three Little Pigs story back with way more attitude.
The game throws all kinds of features at you, from free spins that do not touch your own credits to a Prize Wheel that can drop anything from Mini to Grand jackpots with multipliers. You can trigger the Mega Hat feature by landing hard hat symbols and scoop at least six free spins, and if the wolf is feeling generous, you might hit the Buzz Saw or Mansions features, where you build up your little cartoon houses for even bigger payouts.
It is basically the original game after drinking an energy drink and deciding it wants to hand out surprises left and right.
