A DraftKings Casino player in New Jersey hit a progressive jackpot of $3.29M last week. It is a record payout for the company.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, the mystery player made a $0.10 bet on an Ancient Fortunes: Zeus <\/em>game.<\/p>\n

The online game is made by Microgaming. The company is a privately-held gambling software enterprise based in the United Kingdom’s Isle of Man<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s win surpasses the prior DraftKings record jackpot won in April. That player was paid $1.97 million<\/a>. The visitor made a $0.10 bet on an Extra Chilli Megaways<\/em> game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Second Win<\/h2>\n

Less than 24 hours after Tuesday\u2019s newest record-breaking win, another player won $1.44M. That player made a $0.10 bet on a 12 Western Horseshoes<\/em> game.<\/p>\n

Crowning two millionaires in 24 hours was a monumental week for DraftKings Casino,\u201d<\/strong> Jason March, vice president of DraftKings\u2019 iGaming marketing and operations unit, said in a recent statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe ability to give our customers the chance to win a big progressive jackpot on over 100 games makes me so proud of our product,” March added.<\/p>\n

As of last week, DraftKings Casino\u2019s total progressive jackpot payouts in New Jersey came to $13.49 million since the offering\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

New Roulette Game<\/h2>\n

DraftKings\u2019 also recently launched its Auto American Live Roulette.<\/em> The game is similar to stadium roulette played at brick-and-mortar gaming properties.<\/p>\n

Auto American Live Roulette<\/em> is played on an automatic roulette wheel. It operates 24\/7 and has a backup wheel, so there is continuous action, the company explained in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n

Currently, DraftKings Auto American Live Roulette<\/em> is offered only to eligible DraftKings Casino customers in New Jersey, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But soon the company will provide the new game and additional offerings in other select locations.<\/p>\n

DraftKings recently debuted an online casino game called Hart-Race Hold\u2019em.<\/a> <\/em>The game is a new spin on Texas hold\u2019em.<\/p>\n

DraftKings Casino is now live in five states. It launched in 2018.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Office<\/h2>\n

Also, in March, DraftKings presented its new office<\/a> in southwest Las Vegas. The 90,000-square-foot space is located in a four-story structure at the UnCommons complex.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 workers will be housed at the DraftKings office. That makes it the company\u2019s second-largest office in the U.S. after its Boston office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Las Vegas office has more than 130 sports trading desks. It also includes multimedia walls and stadium-style seating.<\/p>\n

Workers have access to a 7,500-square-foot cafeteria and event space. Employees also can be taught games in a casino training pit.<\/p>\n

At the new complex, company employees can also enjoy a 500-square-foot interactive putt-view putting green, private and public outdoor spaces, and specialized rooms for mothers and children.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s new office is located in Matter Real Estate Group\u2019s UnCommons complex. The 40-acre, $850 million workplace and mixed-use community is now under construction.<\/p>\n

Offices and retail spaces are in the process of opening. A second phase will open soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
