Player Breaks The Record With $1.2M Jackpot On Caesars’ NJ Online Casino
On January 28, 2026, a player in New Jersey set a new record with a $1.2 million jackpot, which is a testament to the great winning potential of online casino play and the steady growth of the regulated iGaming industry.
Caesars Pays an All-Time Highest Jackpot for New Jersey Player
The New Jersey player hit a $1.247 million jackpot with just a $30 bet when playing MegaJackpots Cash Eruption—a slot title developed by IGT PlayDigital—on the Caesars Palace online platform. This is the third time a player has won a jackpot in this slot game, and the biggest jackpot payout recorded by the casino so far.
Gil Rotem shared, CEO of IGT Digital:
The $1.2 million jackpot that recently hit on IGT PlayDigital’s MegaJackpots Cash Eruption in New Jersey is the type of win that really elevates player interest in a game. It’s exciting to see Caesars Palace Online Casino leveraging MegaJackpots Cash Eruption across its portfolio and amplifying the news of these huge jackpots so players know how much fun and entertainment IGT PlayDigital content has to offer.
Before this record-breaking jackpot, Caesars continued its streak of bountiful payouts for the same slot last year. Within a week in September 2025, the casino recorded over $1.1 million in combined jackpots for MegaJackpots Cash Eruption players.
Through these notable wins, Caesars proves its strategy of integrating progressive jackpot content into its Caesars Rewards ecosystem.

For players, frequent jackpot payouts reinforce their trust in the winning potential of Caesars games, thereby boosting their engagement rate. In the bigger picture, massive prizes like this seven-digit jackpot signal the maturity of New Jersey’s iGaming sector and its market growth.
