Feeling lucky?

The progressive jackpot on a Dragon Link slot machine at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood has climbed to over $2 million.

It will be the highest payout ever from a slot machine at the Seminole-owned casino when it hits.

Minimum bet on machine is $25

Of the eight tribal-run casinos in Florida, the Seminole Tribe of Florida operates six, including the Hard Rock in Hollywood. Florida online casinos weren’t included in the 2021 Florida Gaming Compact, leaving sweepstakes and social casinos as the only online options for Florida casino enthusiasts.

The Dragon Link features a single-site progressive game. The new record-setting machine is in the high-limit area at the Hard Rock Hollywood. It’s been a focal point in the casino for more than three years. Its minimum bet is $25, almost ensuring that a high roller will collect the jackpot.

Seminole Gaming COO David Hoenemeyer said the jackpot has created a buzz in the casino.

“It’s exciting to witness the Dragon Link jackpot grow to an unprecedented amount. The game has been a favorite since its release, and with this amazing prize now up for grabs, our players have the potential for a huge win.”

Jackpot growing about $7,000/day

The previous record for the highest slot machine payout in Seminole gaming history was set by a Dragon Link slot machine as well. In September 2022, a machine paid out more than $1.8 million.

When the machine pays out, it will also be the largest payout in Dragon Link history, said Aristocrat Gaming CRO Kurt Gissane.

“We are incredibly proud of the fanfare Dragon Link has amassed over the years, and this historic milestone reinforces player excitement for the brand. The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood team have been incredible partners and huge supporters of our $1 million Dragon Link offering. We can’t wait to be a part of the celebration of this record-breaking jackpot.”

And the jackpot is growing. According to a release, it is climbing around $7,000 a day.

Hard Rock Hollywood boasts a gaming floor with more than 2,500 slot machines. Additionally, the Seminoles’ flagship property is home to more than 200 table games, a 45-table poker room, and a state-of-the-art sportsbook.
