A lucky casino player has hit a record progressive jackpot of $2,856,079 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Florida. The milestone marks the largest jackpot awarded on the Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming.
The $1 Million Dragon Link jackpot in the casino’s high-limit slots area started at $1 million and increased independently from other Dragon Link slots at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and elsewhere. The prize was won with a $250 bet and marks the 7th time the game has hit in excess of $1 million since January 2024.
The $2,856,079 jackpot is a record in Aristocrat Gaming history and is one of the largest Seminole Gaming slot payouts of all time. The largest wide area progressive jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood hit in 2020 for $3.8 million.
“It’s exciting to see a life-changing jackpot win,” said David Hoenemeyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seminole Gaming. “Our players love Dragon Link and today’s win is one for the record books. Congratulations to the lucky winner.”
“Not only is this a historic win for the lucky player, but also a historic win for Dragon Link and Aristocrat Gaming,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer for Aristocrat Gaming. “The team at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has been incredible to work with, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with them.”
Since its introduction at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in June 2021, the $1 million Dragon Link has been a favorite for its high-denomination format. The slot machine has a $1 denomination and a minimum bet of $25, with a maximum bet of $2,500. Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood was the first location in the world to feature the $1 Million Dragon Link slot.
To date in 2024, Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has paid out more than $1 billion in jackpots to more than 500,000 lucky winners. The property is the flagship-integrated resort of Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Between its three hotel towers, the resort boasts 1,271 luxury guestrooms.
