Last week, the staggering $1.76 billion jackpot from Powerball dropped in California. While the name of the winner is yet to be announced, last week brought fortune to visitors to the Las Vegas Strip too. Over the course of a few days last week, visitors to Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas resorts pocketed more than $800,000.

On Sunday, Ryley Koch from South Carolina, who happened to be a Caesars Rewards member, hit the Mega Progressive jackpot while playing Let It Ride poker. As a result, the lucky visitor was able to take home some $94,613. According to Caesars, Koch’s visit to Sin City was entertainment, primarily gambling and golf. After only 15 minutes of playing at the poker table, they hit a Royal Flush, taking home the mouth-watering jackpot.

Before that, on Saturday, another Caesars Rewards member pocketed a hefty payout. Douglas Zuckermann of San Bruno, California, was playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em poker at O’Sheas Irish Pub located inside The LINQ Hotel+ Experience. Hitting the Mega Progressive jackpot, the lucky visitor won a staggering $372,890. Caesars revealed that Zuckermann was on vacation in Las Vegas and was able to hit the big jackpot on his fourth hand after hitting a Royal Flush. When asked what he would do with the jackpot money, the Californian said that he intends to settle student loans.

Jackpot Spree Continues

Besides the aforementioned jackpots, more lucky visitors went home with six-figure prizes recently. On Friday, October 13, 2023, a lucky visitor of Caesars Palace, who also happened to be a Caesars Rewards member, hit a jackpot while playing video poker, collecting $100,000.

Later on that same day, another visitor hit a $146,358 jackpot from slots at the same venue. Then, on Sunday, a third Caesars Palace guest won a $100,000 jackpot from video poker.

Elsewhere in Las Vegas Valley, another gambler hit a mouth-watering grand prize on Friday the 13th. While generally Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day, this certainly wasn’t the case for one visitor of Station Casinos’ Santa Fe Station. The guest played the Dancing Drums machine and won a progressive jackpot worth $101,023. This lucky guest at Santa Fe Station is undoubtedly going to remember their visit to the casino.

Last week’s jackpot streak coincided with a Super Bingo tournament that took place at Plaza Hotel & Casino. While last year, one visitor of the tournament missed out due to a heart attack, this year, the same woman returned to win a whopping $50,000 prize.

The casino has seen massive payouts go out to some lucky players, setting new records in the process. DraftKings said that two whopping jackpots worth millions of dollars were paid last week alone, putting the grand total of jackpots paid out to players since the company launched its progressive jackpot suite in the Garden State at $13.49 million.

Unlocking the Power of Jackpot

It was not just the amount won last week – but also the spectacular nature of some of those bets. One anonymous player managed to turn a $0.10 bet on Microgaming’s Ancient Fortunes: Zeus into a hefty $3.29 million payout, the biggest-ever jackpot win on a single game offered by DraftKings Casino in New Jersey.

The player’s decision to stick to the minimum betting limit has not stopped them from triggering the progressive jackpot and claiming it all the same. This win was not the only noteworthy amount won by a player over the course of the week, however. Another player managed to scoop $1.4 million on a $0.10 bet on 12 Western Horseshoes, the operator said.

The announcement has been made at a time of great importance to the operator. The company has been steadily pushing in the iGaming vertical in the United States, which has been gathering momentum, including in places such as New Jersey. The company is confident that it is now the leading iGaming entity in the United States in terms of gross gaming revenue, and it intends to remain so.

Commenting on the latest developments, iGaming marketing & operations VP Jason March said:

Crowning two millionaires in 24 hours was a monumental week for DraftKings Casino. The ability to give our customers the chance to win a big progressive jackpot on over 100 games makes me so proud of our product.

Meanwhile, DraftKings has been also gearing up with fresh content. The company recently launched its proprietary Auto American Live Roulette to offer a much better overall engagement with its audiences.

The game is available 24/7 and to players at the DraftKings Casino in New Jersey. The arrival of Auto American Live Roulette was hailed by the company as an important step forward in expanding the company’s efforts in the live casino vertical and revealing its own dedicated studio.

“Creating proprietary DraftKings Casino games has always been a core part of our strategy, and exclusive live casino games in this category will expand our reach even further,” the company said.
