New Jersey Player Lands Caesars Online's Biggest Win With $1.2m Jackpot

iGaming site Caesars Online has seen its biggest online winner yet, after a New Jersey player pocketed $1.25m from a $30 wager on the MegaJackpots Cash Eruption game. 

The slot, developed by IGT PlayDigital, shares a progressive pool across regulated jurisdictions, hence the bumper prize. 

Caesars has confirmed that it is the largest online jackpot they have ever paid out. 

Caesars Online Brands

Caesars Online is the online arm of Caesars Entertainment. 

The platform launched in 2013 and was one of the first real-money online casinos launched in the state, as it introduced new online gambling regulations. New Jersey remains one of only seven states to have legalized online casinos. 

Caesars also operates Harrah’s, Horseshoe and Eldorado online casinos. This latest win of more than $1.2m is the largest across all Caesars’ online brands.

Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital, Matthew Sunderland, said of the win: “MegaJackpots Cash Eruption continues to deliver memorable moments for our players on Caesars Palace Online Casino.

“When a favorite title reaches milestones like this, it reinforces why we focus on a seamless experience and engaging content that resonates with our players.”

While this is the biggest single win, MegaJackpots Cash Eruption has delivered some sizeable wins already.

In September, two jackpots totaling $1.1m were won across seven days on the same game, including one prize of more than $520,000 from a $0.60 bet. 

The latest win returned $1.25m from a $30 bet, and the winner said of their prize: “I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it. I plan to take care of my family.”

The MegaJackpots Cash Eruption Slot

MegaJackpots Cash Eruption, produced by IGT Digital, only launched in June 2025. 

The game is played on a 5x3 grid and offers high volatility. Its progressive jackpots make it popular with players looking to land life-changing wins. 

Filling the jackpot meter during the base game or landing a Jumbo MegaJackpots coin during the bonus game launches the MegaJackpots Bonus game. 

The bonus rewards the player with a single spin. All values in the middle row are awarded, with any multipliers applied. 

If a MegaJackpots coin lands on the middle row, the player wins the progressive jackpot. 

IGT Digital CEO, Gil Rotem, said: “MegaJackpots Cash Eruption continues its reign as one of the most widely enjoyed games in the IGT PlayDigital content portfolio and a $1.2 million jackpot payout can even further boost the game’s popularity with players.

“Caesars Palace Online Casino is maximizing the reach of MegaJackpots Cash Eruption across its online casino platforms, and lucky players are reaping the benefits via record-setting jackpots in multiple states.”

While the bumper prize is the biggest handed out to a Caesars Online player, US bettors have enjoyed bigger wins. 

In November, one player picked up a staggering $22.4m prize playing the Huff N’ Even More Puff game on DraftKings Casino’s Michigan platform, surpassing the $9.28m record set in February, also in Michigan.
