The Dragon Link slot machine from Aristocrat Gaming has awarded a massive jackpot of $2.8 million to a player in Florida

A resident of Plantation, Florida, has hit a record jackpot of $2,856,079 on the Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming. The payout was made from a $250 bet at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood. This marks the seventh instance in 2024 where a progressive slot has awarded over $1 million.
The Dragon Link machine is located in the casino's VIP area and features a unique jackpot system. Its base jackpot starts at $1 million and continues to grow independently of other machines in the same series, both at Seminole Hard Rock and other gaming establishments.
This payout is a record for Aristocrat Gaming and ranks among the largest wins in the history of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. Currently, the biggest jackpot ever won at this casino stands at $3.8 million.
David Hoenmeyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seminole Gaming, commented on the event, saying, "It’s wonderful to see a life-changing jackpot win. This prize will surely go down in the record books. On behalf of the company, I congratulate our winner today."
Kurt Gissane, Revenue Director at Aristocrat Gaming, added, "This is a historic win for Dragon Link and our lucky jackpot winner. It has been a pleasure working with the team at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone together."
The $1 Million Dragon Link machine, with betting limits ranging from $25 to $2,500, was launched in June 2021 and was initially exclusive to Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. The slot quickly gained popularity due to its built-in progressive prize mechanics.
Since its opening, Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has paid out jackpots to over 500,000 players, with total winnings exceeding $1 billion.
