$1.77M grand jackpot hits at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa on Aristocrat's Dragon Link: Panda Magic

A lucky guest struck it big at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on February 10, landing a $1,778,409.22 Grand progressive jackpot on the popular Aristocrat title Dragon Link – Panda Magic.

The jackpot was triggered on a $1 denomination with a $25 minimum bet, unlocking the game’s Grand prize tier. The progressive has a reset amount of $1,000,000, meaning the prize had climbed significantly before the winning combination hit.

The guest declined publicity.

Developed by Aristocrat Gaming, Dragon Link series remains one of the most recognizable progressive slot brands on U.S. casino floors. The Panda Magic title features a linked progressive structure, offering Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand tiers, with the Grand often reaching seven figures.

The latest seven-figure payout follows a landmark performance in 2025, when Seminole Hard Rock Tampa surpassed $2.7 billion in jackpots awarded.

The property paid out $2,796,430,689 across 928,568 jackpots in 2025, marking the fifth consecutive year the casino exceeded $2 billion in total jackpot payouts.

“Surpassing $2 billion in jackpots for the fifth consecutive year reflects the scale of our gaming floor and the consistency of the experience we deliver to our guests,” said last month Joseph Wagner, Vice President & Assistant General Manager of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. “Year after year, players continue to see real wins at every level.”
