John Hemberger, SVP & GM, Table Products for AGS comments on the win:
"We’re thrilled to see our STAX progressive system delivering such exciting moments for players. These million-dollar jackpots showcase the power of progressive systems to create life-changing experiences. It’s why offering these jackpots is so crucial—giving players the chance to win big and change their luck with just a $5 side bet."
In a press release issued by Mohegan Sun on February 20, the casino states that "on Thursday, February 13, a lucky Mohegan Sun guest walked away with a life-changing $1,338,736.40 jackpot. The guest was playing the optional $5 Super 4 Progressive side bet on a Blackjack table in Casino of the Earth at the time the jackpot was won.
The Super 4 Progressive side bet is offered on all Blackjack tables at Mohegan Sun and is triggered when the dealer’s hand is a Blackjack; the amount of the payout is dependent on the value and suit of both the player’s and dealer’s hand. This guest hit the top jackpot which requires the four cards in the hand to be A, K, Q, and J of diamonds."
Currently, at Mohegan Sun, there is an additional one million dollar jackpot up for grabs on another AGS progressive! AGS' award-winning progressive, Bonus Spin Xtreme™ is linked to multiple table games on the floor with a Triple Diamond grand jackpot incrementing over a million dollars. For just a $5 side bet, one lucky player will soon take home the prize!
