Scarlet Pearl Casino accepts another $1 million bet

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Following Jim ‘Mattress Mack’ McIngvale’s record-breaking $3.5 million bet last week on the Houston Astros to win the 2019 World Series, Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort accepted another seven-figure wager. The $1 million bet is for the American League to win the World Series; a possible $1.7 million payout to the winner.

“Scarlet Pearl is the nation’s new home for the biggest bets,” said CEO LuAnn Pappas. “We’ll speak with any guest who wants to place a large bet, whether it’s in our sportsbook, on our tables, or at our slot machines. We don’t sweat the money.”

This marks the second-largest single bet in Mississippi sportsbook history and the second record-setting bet placed in the state in just the last eight days. Both bets have occurred at Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort, the newest casino resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
