The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City has been the scene of major excitement after a table games player hit $1.2 million on the Bonus Spin Xtreme progressive jackpot in early May. 

Lucky Borgata Player Strikes $1.2M Jackpot with Bonus Spin Xtreme

The lucky player, who made a $5 side bet, got into the hot seat by chance and spun the Bonus Spin Xtreme wheel. The Triple Diamond top progressive on the outer wheel came up, awarding the lucky customer with a $1,255,697 payday.

This sizeable jackpot was delivered through Borgata’s connected network of 16 linked tables featuring Bonus Spin Xtreme across popular games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, and Criss Cross Poker®.

Commenting on AGS’ Bonus Spin Xtreme table game multilink progressive success at Borgata, James Bruno, vice president of casino operations for the property said: “We are thrilled to see the ongoing success of AGS’ Bonus Spin Xtreme table game multilink progressive at Borgata. In the past twelve months, Double Diamond Jackpots have paid over $315,000, which is in addition to the $1.2 million top award payout we saw at Borgata. We greatly value our partnership with AGS and look forward to an exciting future.”

This most recent win represents Borgata’s second Triple Diamond jackpot in less than a year following its record-setting $1.5 million win as AGS’ highest-ever progressive payout.

Other recent jackpot wins include one million dollars won by a person while participating in a Fabulous Fortune scratch-off game from the famous Massachusetts State Lottery. The ticket was confirmed to be the winner on May 28. It was bought at a Liquor Mart Store which is located in Attleboro, Massachusetts. 

Additionally, in Saugus, a lucky ticket holder struck gold with a $100,000 win from Alltown, thanks to the $100,000 Power Shot scratch-off game. 

Meanwhile, a computer programmer from Laurel, Maryland, unexpectedly won $100,000 with a Money Drop scratch-off ticket bought on a whim from a local gas station.

The Illinois Lottery’s Ultimate Diamond Jackpot has soared to $1.6 million, offering the next winner millionaire status and the title of securing the biggest Fast Play jackpot in the state’s history.

In Australia, a NSW lotto winner plans to continue working despite winning an AUD13 million ($8.6 million) jackpot, intending to support family and invest in his business.

This is part of the renovation plan that MGM Resorts International has put forward, announcing a $55-million revamping of the property. The company is doubling down on its brand name by renaming the hotel to MGM Tower and focusing the limelight on the MGM image and likeness.

Borgata Rebrands Water Club Hotel to MGM Tower

All of this is happening on an expedited schedule, too, as the first rooms should be available to guests in April and coincide with Memorial Day weekend. MGM COO Corey Sanders welcomed the opportunity and said that it was a great opportunity to see the raise of the status of the property and continue to deliver on the sterling experience that the industry-leading team of employees has made possible. Sanders added:

Introducing the MGM Tower connects Borgata with the unparalleled entertainment and resort experiences MGM Resorts is recognized for worldwide.

The renovation will lead to the overhaul of 700 rooms and will add luxury suites at the towers. This investment coincides with Borgata’s 20^th anniversary. The Water Club was originally launched in 2008 and it cost $400 million to build next door to the Borgata casino and hotel.

The property is a 43-story hospitality venue that offers additional accommodation for guests of Atlantic City and the casino. The property was launched to help Borgata’s dedicated hotel cope with interest in its facilities.  Sanders is confident that the investment in the property would not just be tied to the company’s own good fortunes but also help drive visitation rates to Atlantic City in general.

Renovation Fever in Atlantic City

The same sentiment is shared by a number of other properties in Atlantic City. Other companies have also made their plans to renovate properties clear over the past months. Caesars, Tropicana Atlantic City and Harrah’s Resort are all investing heavily, with the total value of their renovation funds estimated at $400 million.

Bally’s Atlantic City in the meantime has completed its own renovation worth $100 million. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino began renovation in 2021, and there are other properties which have been mulling, raising capital, or just finalizing their own freshening-up. In Atlantic City, maintaining a good front is important not just for your own business, but tourism in general.
