A progressive jackpot of more than $2 million continues climbing on 28 Dragon Link slot machines at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.

The jackpot is up for grabs on any of the 28 linked progressive slots, all multi-denomination Dragon Link machines by Aristocrat Gaming, with 22 of the machines in the high-limit slots area and six on the main casino floor at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. The progressive jackpot on the machines increases independently from other Dragon Link slots at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa.

The jackpot is climbing at a rate of $4,600 or more per day and is on track to become one of the largest slot machine payouts in Seminole Gaming history. According to Aristocrat Gaming, $2.8 million is the current record for single-site linked progressive Dragon Link slot machines.

“Players have the potential to win big with this record-setting jackpot,” said Joseph Wagner, Vice President & Assistant General Manager of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. “Dragon Link is a huge hit with our guests—and you can see why! This progressive slot continues to deliver unforgettable experiences.”

“Our partnership with Seminole Hard Rock Tampa continues to drive exhilarating opportunities for players, including the $1 million Dragon Link progressive games,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer for Aristocrat Gaming. “It’s exciting to watch the jackpot grow to such an exceptional amount. We can’t wait to be a part of the celebration when it hits.”

Since its launch at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa in July 2021, Dragon Link has remained a top draw for players, thanks to its high-denomination offering, which includes a $25 minimum bet and a $2,500 maximum bet. It continues to rank among the most popular choices in the high-limit slot category.

Dragon Link’s influence on the gaming scene has been undeniable, solidifying its reputation as a fan favorite. With Aristocrat Gaming driving innovation across the industry, the latest jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa marks yet another milestone in gaming entertainment.
