BetMGM Casino has made another player year by giving out a new six-figure jackpot of $609,198.

This time, a lucky Michigan player, Steven Hooker, struck it big, turning a simple bet into a $609,198 windfall by hitting the MGM Grand Millions jackpot.

To make the moment even more memorable, BetMGM rolled out the red carpet, inviting Hooker for a three-day, two-night VIP stay at ARIA Resort & Casino. This “rockstar treatment” included a meal at the acclaimed Jean Georges Steakhouse and a chance to put the pedal to the metal at Speed Vegas.

Steven Hooker shared his excitement:

“It happened so fast. I was starstruck. I am pumped. I always dreamt about coming to Las Vegas, and it wouldn’t have happened without BetMGM.”

BetMGM’s approach to lucky winners

When it comes to jackpots, BetMGM often adds a personal touch, blending digital and physical experiences to give their winners unforgettable moments. It’s part of the brand’s effort to make every jackpot more than just a number on a screen. Back in 2024, BetMGM saw the largest jackpot in US history with a $6,450,023 payout.

BetMGM’s VP of Gaming, Angus Nisbet, commented:

“BetMGM’s jackpot program is about creating and delivering once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are made possible through our relationship with MGM Resorts International. It is an unbelievable feeling for us to be a part of these moments with players and share their excitement.”

Hooker’s big win came from the MGM Grand Millions, a game developed exclusively for BetMGM Casino and its sister platforms. Offering 1,024 ways to win, the potential for life-changing payouts remains on top.
