DraftKings reflects on October’s exclusive progressive jackpot launch
The game is available only to DraftKings Casino customers in New Jersey, with plans for expansion.
DraftKings became the first iGaming platform in North America to deliver cross-game genre-linked progressive jackpots last month. This was a new feature that was launched exclusively for the company’s New Jersey customers.
Jackpots traditionally link together, whether they are slots, table games or video poker, but DraftKings says this new form of jackpot differentiates itself. Built entirely in-house, all game types on the DraftKings Casino app will be linked to the same progressive jackpot, delivering an “elevated experience with more opportunities for customers to win.”
This feature will be available only to DraftKings Casino customers in New Jersey. Players have the ability to opt in and make an additional wager on jackpot-eligible games for a chance to claim the winning jackpot.
The jackpot-eligible games include blackjack, roulette and slot favorites such as 88 Fortunes.
Within the first two weeks of launching progressive jackpots in New Jersey on the DraftKings Casino app, one player won $313,445 – and the current jackpot is still growing. Players can view the jackpot size on the DraftKings Casino’s website.
DraftKings VP of Product Operations Signe Yama commented: “We are thrilled to offer DraftKings Casino customers more exciting ways to win. Our team is dedicated to pushing innovation forward and creating new products that are exclusive to DraftKings for our customers to enjoy.
“We have seen early success since launching progressive jackpots in New Jersey and can’t wait to see more of our customers take home large jackpot winnings.”
DraftKings plans to expand this genre-linked jackpot outside of New Jersey in the near future, into other jurisdictions where DraftKings Casino is available. These states include Kansas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, Virginia, Connecticut, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, Oregon and New York.
