Welch, Minn. (January 20, 2026) –– The year of 2025 brought a record number of life-changing jackpots to Treasure Island Resort & Casino guests! Each month set year-over-year records for the number of jackpots hit and the overall dollars paid out, leading to the most dollars paid out in a single year in the casino’s 41-year history.
As the new year gets underway, 2026 promises to be even bigger and better — and not just for wins on the gaming floor. Upcoming upgrades to The Island include the reopening of the Buffalo Tower, the oldest of the three Treasure Island hotel towers. With a planned reopening in February, the Buffalo Tower will soon be The Island’s premier hotel tower. Treasure Island is the second-largest hotel in Minnesota, and the Buffalo Tower is home to 246 of its 788 total rooms. The tower will feature all brand-new rooms, including new suite types, when it reopens.
While 2025 was the year for record wins at The Island, with each calendar month and the year hitting jackpot records, even more winning is projected in 2026. The new year is starting off strong with hot promotions, including the $125,000 Power Play FREE Slot Play Giveaway, which is only the beginning of exciting things expected to come throughout 2026.
Within the record year of 2025 was a strong close in December, including seven jackpot wins greater than $30,000 and a $158,407.38 winner, the seventh-largest jackpot win over the year at Treasure Island. That was one of 10 slot jackpots greater than $155,000 in 2025, led by a massive $253,766 win on Ten Times Pay that was Treasure Island’s largest win.
Rounding out the top-five 2025 jackpot wins were:
$182,792.58 — Lightning Cash – Moon Race
$178,792,58 — Lightning Cash – Best Bet
