Winter may be bringing the chill, but casino floors are heating up fast. Over the past week, blackjack tables connected to AGS progressive systems have delivered eye-popping jackpots, turning modest side bets into life-changing wins.

On Friday, January 30, a lucky guest at Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Earth in Uncasville, Connecticut struck gold while playing Super 4® Blackjack. With just a $5 side bet, the player walked away with a staggering $703,977, thanks to AGS’ STAX Progressive® platform.

The winning hand featured the ace, king, queen, and jack of diamonds—a dream combination that unlocked the Super 4 Progressive. This popular blackjack side bet pays when the dealer has blackjack, with payout amounts determined by both the dealer’s and player’s cards.

First introduced at Mohegan Sun in 2015, Super 4 Blackjack has remained a fan favorite ever since, consistently drawing players with its high-energy gameplay and big-win potential.

The hot streak didn’t stop there.

Just days later, on Tuesday, February 3, a guest at Sky River Casino in Elk Grove, California hit the largest Bonus Spin Xtreme® (BSX) Triple Diamond Progressive jackpot in the property’s history, taking home $700,503. It’s the biggest BSX Triple Diamond win recorded at Sky River since the casino opened in August 2022.

The Bonus Spin Xtreme platform is designed to link multiple table games—often across pits and even different game types—creating nonstop excitement and more chances to win. Since Sky River opened, AGS’ BSX system alone has helped deliver millions of dollars in progressive payouts.

With more than 2,000 tables across North America, AGS’ progressive platforms—STAX and Bonus Spin Xtreme—continue to transform the table games experience, offering thrilling side bets, multi-level jackpots, and unforgettable, life-changing moments for players.

A table games player at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma rang in the New Year in the best way, winning a whopping $3.68 million jackpot in an AGS poker derivative. The lucky player, who was enjoying a round of Jackpot Hold’em® on January 2, placed a $5 side bet through the linked STAX® progressive and hit the Royal Flush – Diamonds top progressive, awarding the staggering jackpot of $3,683,560.

The $3.68 million win is the largest progressive jackpot ever won on an AGS table game, as well as at WinStar, marking a historical milestone for both companies. The incredible payout comes from a network of 14 linked STAX progressive Jackpot Hold’em tables, spanning eight casinos in the Chickasaw Nation family of properties throughout Oklahoma, all contributing to the massive top award.

“The goal with our progressives is to create a platform that gives operators the flexibility to offer huge jackpots, like this multi-million-dollar prize,” said John Hemberger, Vice President and General Manager of Tables at AGS. “What makes STAX unique is its ability to have five independent meters, allowing the jackpot to grow faster and larger than with a traditional single meter progressive. It’s incredibly exciting to see our products and a single $5 progressive bet help make these life-changing wins becoming more common at table games.”

“On Friday, Jan. 2 at approximately 8:45 p.m. CT, WinStar World Casino and Resort celebrated a historic moment when a $3.6 million jackpot hit on AGS Jackpot Hold’em in our Vienna table games pit,” said Jack Parkison, President of WinStar World Casino and Resort. “This is the largest jackpot in WinStar history, and we’re thrilled to share this unforgettable win with our guests and team members who help create excitement like this every day.”

Kicking off 2026 strong, the jackpot at WinStar marks the second AGS table games jackpot win of more than $1 million in the first two days of the new year. A lucky guest at Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts, won a record-setting $1,620,355 jackpot on New Year’s Day while playing Royal 9® Baccarat after placing a single side bet also powered by STAX.

AGS partnered with Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico to debut its newest slot game family, Mariachi Fortunes Trio to the market.

On November 1, the property hosted a festive Dia de los Muertos-themed launch celebration inspired by the game’s two energetic themes – Fiesta de los Vivos (the festival of the living) and Fiesta de las Calacas (the festival of the skeletons) inviting more than 300 VIPs and guests to explore the worlds of the living and the departed through exciting gameplay.

The event transformed the casino floor into a spirited celebration with Day of the Dead decor, live mariachi band, confetti cannons and stunning visuals throughout the property, bringing the game’s festive setting to life. VIP guests received themed giveaways and were among the first to experience Mariachi Fortunes Trio. During the VIP free-play event, more than 20 hand-pays were paid out totaling nearly $75,000. Additionally, AGS representatives, property executives, and Sandia Resort & Casino employees gathered to commemorate the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

“Mariachi Fortunes Trio has seen tremendous success since its debut in July and continues to build momentum across the country,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots, AGS. “These games – along with their immersive theme, rich features and stellar bonus options – being first to market in New Mexico is a celebration of the fan-favorite brand and our special partnership with Sandia.”

Mariachi Fortunes Trio was soft-launched on October 15 and will be available at Sandia for a limited time before expanding to casino floors across the region.
