Bonus TL;DR

  • A Florida man won $1,104,476 on a $150 Dragon Link bet at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa on Aug. 29.
  • This marked the casino’s seventh million-dollar jackpot of the year, bolstering its “Luckiest Casino in America” title.

A Florida man won a $1,104,476.06 slot jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on Aug. 29, according to WFLA and the casino.

The winner, who was identified only as being from St. Johns County, hit the seven-figure prize while playing Dragon Link Panda Magic. The reported wager was $150 on a $2 denomination machine.

The win is notable because the casino said it was the second jackpot of more than $1 million that month and the seventh such jackpot awarded there so far this year. Seminole Hard Rock Tampa used the streak to reinforce its branding as the “Luckiest Casino in America” for a second straight year.

Jackpot came on Dragon Link Panda Magic

According to the report, the player hit the jackpot on Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Tampa property. Neither WFLA nor the casino identified the winner by name, and no additional details were provided on how the prize would be paid.

The casino said in a statement that the latest win adds to a broader run of large payouts at the property.

“Esta racha ganadora refuerza aún más el reconocimiento del establecimiento como el ‘Casino con más suerte de Estados Unidos’ por segundo año consecutivo”, Hard Rock said.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa highlights payout streak

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa is one of the largest casino properties in Florida. According to the source report, the resort has 5,230 slot machines along with table games including poker, blackjack, and baccarat.

For readers tracking major U.S. casino payouts, the latest seven-figure hit stands out less for player details, which were limited, than for the pace of million-dollar jackpots the property says it has awarded in 2026.

What is still unclear:

  • The winner’s name was not released.
  • The casino did not say whether the jackpot would be paid as a lump sum or in another form.
  • No statement from the winner was included in the report.

The source report did not identify any further upcoming event tied to the payout beyond the casino’s statement on its recent jackpot run.
