November 2 was a day to remember for one lucky visitor to Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. What started as a flutter on the Aristocrat Gaming $1 Million Dragon Link Progressive Slot Machine ended with that lucky player becoming a millionaire.
The anonymous winner was playing $50 spins when the progressive jackpot triggered. By the time the last cent had paid out, the total haul that player enjoyed weighed in at $2,190,214.13 or an incredible 43,804 times their initial bet!
Joseph Wagner, Vice President & Assistant General Manager for Seminole Hard Rock Tampa, was delighted to see such a substantial prize won at the venue.
"It's always remarkable when a jackpot of this magnitude is hit. Congratulations to the lucky winner. Dragon Link continues to deliver unforgettable moments for our guests, and this win is the perfect example."
A Machine for the High Rollers
The Aristocrat Gaming machines were installed at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa in July 2021, and have since become a major draw for the casino's high rollers. A $25 minimum bet and a $2,500 maximum bet mean this slot machine is not for the faint-hearted.
"What an extraordinary moment for the player, Dragon Link, and Aristocrat Gaming," Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer for Aristocrat Gaming, said. "Our partnership with Seminole Hard Rock Tampa continues to drive exciting wins like this – it's thrilling to celebrate this milestone with them."
Progressive Jackpot iResumes Its Climb
Thirty-two Dragon Link slots are linked, with $1 million set as the base jackpot. That jackpot increases the longer it remains unclaimed. The Dragon Link jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa was reset to $1 million following this $2.19 million win, but it is already climbing again.
It appears that Seminole Hard Rock Tampa guests have a knack for winning big at the venue. To date, the casino has paid out more than 778,000 jackpots in 2025 alone, with the jackpot prize money exceeding $2.34 billion!
