Dr. Annelies De Vos · 2026-05-04

A lucky gambler in Ontario kicked off their weekend with a life-changing win, taking home the largest jackpot in the history of theScore Casino. The Toronto-based online casino shared the news on social media, revealing the player won a staggering $1,373,950 on a single $0.81 online slots spin Thursday night. That's right — a bet under a buck turned into over a million dollars. It's the kind of story that makes you want to hit that spin button just one more time. ### The Winning Game: Hollywood Casino Neon Vault The casino confirmed the lucky winner was playing **Hollywood Casino Neon Vault**, an exclusive title available only at theScore Casino. The fateful spin triggered the **DropZone progressive jackpot**, a special feature for players in Ontario who opt into the promo. Here's how it works: - All slots games at theScore Casino are eligible for DropZone - Players must opt in before playing - An extra $0.10 is taken from your account per wager to fund the jackpot pool So while that extra dime per spin might seem small, it's what made this massive payout possible. Think of it like tossing a coin into a fountain — except this fountain occasionally spits out a million bucks. ### A Quick History of theScore theScore started as a Canadian sports cable channel back in 1997, created by Score Media. It launched its mobile app in 2007, but by 2012, it had sold its TV operations to Rogers Media. The website and mobile apps spun off into theScore Inc. Though it's a Canadian company, theScore made history in the U.S. too. In September 2019, it launched **theScore Bet**, the first mobile sportsbook in the country, in partnership with New Jersey's Monmouth Park Racetrack. ### Acquisition and Expansion In 2021, Penn Entertainment acquired theScore. The following year, theScore Bet Sportsbook and Casino expanded into Ontario. Currently, theScore Casino is only available in Ontario, but it's set to launch in Alberta this July. For now, if you're in Ontario and feeling lucky, you know where to go. Just remember — that extra dime per spin might be the best investment you make all day.
