Wolverine State players have had a good week at DraftKings Casino. The operator published on its social media channel X that several players have won substantial amounts playing the online casino’s slots and table games over the past several days. The latest win at this Michigan online casino arrived on May 28th when a player from Michigan hit a $576K jackpot while playing Ultra Blazing Fire Link. 

According to the X post that announced the win, the $576K win was achieved on a wager of $0.10. Aside from the win on Ultra Blazing Fire Link, DraftKings revealed that two other players have had luck at the online lobby. On May 27th, another gambler from the Wolverine State won a jackpot valued at $103,020 on a bet of $9,000 while playing Superstars. 

The winning streak kicked off on May 26th when another player secured a more humble amount of $51,800 on an $800 bet while playing Lightning Roulette! The identity of all winning players has not been revealed. 

Continuity of Jackpot Wins by DraftKings’ Michigan Players 

DraftKings is transparent in reporting huge jackpot wins secured by players on its casino app. The operator regularly publishes wins on its social media channels and website blog. The big wins in May come after a relatively quiet April, when no player won more than $100K, judging by the report published on the DraftKings blog, which breaks down the most significant wins throughout April in every U.S. market. 

Nevertheless, the year started exceptionally well for Michigan players. Two gamblers won over a million dollars in January. The biggest win of $1,653,849 landed on slot Cleopatra II, with 777 Surge generating a $1,598,396 win in the same month. The third-highest payout for January occurred on Masai Mara Megaways and amounted to $557,347. 

However, slots are not the only casino game type generating big payouts. In March, two players won six-digit prizes while playing operators’ in-house table games. DraftKings Hockey Blackjack offered a $482,453 win, and another player won $711,852 on DraftKings Multi-hand Blackjack.

Popular Michigan Operator

DraftKings is the third best-performing online casino in Michigan, according to revenue numbers. This ranking is based on the total revenue generated by the casino since its launch in the Wolverine State iGaming market in 2021. DraftKings took in $38 million in bets in April and is projected to hit $1 billion in lifetime revenue in June.

DraftKings is a popular brand in Michigan. It offers over a thousand slots, along with progressive jackpots and branded table games. Its portfolio of Michigan online casino promotions is impressive, and its casino apps receive high grades from players.
