The Dragon Link slot machine will be forever linked to a record-setting jackpot won in Florida.
A lucky person from Plantation, Florida, won a record-breaking $2,856,079 jackpot on the Dragon Link slot machine. The person placed a $250 bet at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
This is the seventh time since January 2024 that the game has paid out over $1 million.
The Dragon Link jackpot, located in the casino's high-limit slots area, started at $1 million and grew separately from other Dragon Link slots at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and elsewhere.
Although the player wishes to remain anonymous, the casino posted a picture of the winning machine on its X account.

This Jackpot Has Been Building
Last month the casino reported that the jackpot was growing by as much as $7,000 per day.
Each Dragon Link slot machine operates independently from the others, both within the casino and outside of the casino. This jackpot could be only won on any of the 18 Dragon Link machines located in the high-limit slots area.
The Dragon Link machines are becoming known for paying out large amounts of cash, and not just in Florida.
Largest Slot Jackpot in Aristocrat Gaming History
This $2,856,079 jackpot is the largest in Aristocrat Gaming's history and one of the biggest ever payouts by Seminole Gaming. The largest wide area progressive jackpot at this casino, however, hit $3.8 million in 2020.
"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."
Multiple Major Winners at Hollywood Casino
Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has awarded over $1 billion in jackpots to more than 500,000 winners so far this year.
Including the woman who turned a $25 bet into a million dollar jackpot.
