Over just a few days, the three passengers tried their luck while waiting for a flight or after landing and won big in the terminals.<\/p>\n

On January 12, one unnamed player collected more than $1M. The total payout was $1,031,200 after a $3 bet on a Wild Wild Buffalo Penny Game<\/em> located by the D gates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was followed on January 18 with two wins. One was for $88K. The other was for $18K.<\/p>\n

There are more than 1K slots at the airport.<\/a><\/p>\n

BetMGM Payouts<\/h2>\n

Over the past year, BetMGM<\/a> paid out $138.2M in progressive jackpots in online casino play. That represents a 32% increase over 2022.<\/p>\n

BetMGM paid out the largest amounts in Michigan ($53.2 million), New Jersey ($38.8 million), and Pennsylvania ($34.6 million).<\/strong><\/p>\n

In October, a mystery player from New Jersey won the second-largest BetMGM jackpot ever, collecting $3M on a $2 wager on Bison Fury<\/em> at Borgata Online.<\/p>\n

The winner was given a VIP trip to Las Vegas. That included four nights in a two-bedroom suite at Aria Resort & Casino<\/a> over New Year\u2019s weekend, a dinner at Jean George\u2019s Steakhouse, a $1K gift certificate to Tiffany & Co., and tickets for the Bruno Mars concert at the Dolby Live Theater at Park MGM.<\/p>\n

Big Jackpot Wins $1M<\/h2>\n

Last month, Scott \u201cRaja\u201d Richter won more than $1M in the new high-limit room at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas,<\/a> located on the Las Vegas Strip. It was on December 17 that Richter was playing Aristocrat Gaming\u2019s Dragon Link<\/em>. After making a $250 wager, he won $1,081,106.<\/p>\n

Richter, also known as The Big Jackpot, has about half a million subscribers on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, on Sunday, a Rivers Casino Pittsburgh<\/a> poker player won close to $1.4M, according to Pittsburgh TV station KDKA<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The jackpot totaled $1,391,967, which marks a Pai Gow<\/em> record at the gaming property. The man won with a seven-card straight flush while playing Pai Gow Poker<\/em> Progressive.<\/p>\n

A local player collected $103,216 on Sunday at the Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino in Nevada. The lucky gambler was playing Dragon Cash<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The day before, a visitor from Hawaii took home $130K at Las Vegas\u2019 California Hotel & Casino. She was playing Light & Wonder’s Let It Ride<\/em> game. The unnamed player won the cash after getting a five-card royal flush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
