Woman hits for $1.1 million at Hard Rock

A woman hit a $1.1 million jackpot at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tuesday.

The woman, who asked not to be identified, played the Megabucks Video MegaJackpot game.

The win came on a progressive machine, meaning a portion of each spin at Native American casinos nationwide are lumped into one large jackpot.

It’s the largest jackpot ever at the Hard Rock. The state record is $3.5 million hit by a man on Aug. 30 at Seminole Casino Immokalee.

According to a press release, a player’s club coupon brought her to the casino. When asked what drew her to the winning machine, the winner said she had never played the winning machine before, but "liked the way it looked" with the "spinning wheel on top," the release said.

Combined, Seminole casinos have now awarded ten MegaJackpot prizes totaling over $9.7 million. The Seminole Casino Hollywood is part of a Native American progressive gaming network which includes over 300 casinos nationwide.
