Throughout 2021, online casinos in the U.S. experienced tremendous success, and we are thrilled to recap the top 5 stories we shared with you this year.
Online casinos in Pennsylvania have formed partnerships with prominent sports franchises, such as Unibet teaming up with the Philadelphia Eagles, and BetMGM collaborating with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
DraftKings took the lead by becoming the inaugural U.S. casino to develop a native App exclusively for mobile devices. This advancement greatly enhanced American players’ ability to access online casino games conveniently on their smartphones and tablets.
In November 2021, the State of Connecticut witnessed the launch of three online casinos: SugarHouse Casino, Mohegan Sun Casino, and DraftKings. These operators made history as the first U.S. online casinos to go live in the state. The response was remarkable, with a staggering 1.2 million online bets placed within the first month.
Several new online casinos, such as Betway, TwinSpires, and Stardust Casino, have entered the US market alongside established operators like Golden Nugget, BetMGM, and DraftKings. This expansion includes the recent introduction of these casinos to Michigan, offering more options for players in the country.
In a year filled with jackpot winners, a fortunate player from Pennsylvania struck gold with a $93K prize from TwinSpires, while another landed an astonishing $537K at Hollywood Casino. Nevertheless, these impressive wins pale in comparison to the jaw-dropping $3.5M jackpot claimed by a lucky player at Borgata Online.
