Product Review: Dragon Link $1m Slot by Aristocrat

January 16, 2023

Aristocrat breathes (fiery) new life into high denomination slots.

Aristocrat’s Dragon Link jackpot brand has long been a favorite among slot machine fanatics but its latest iteration has proven particularly popular since its world premiere at the Hard Rock Tampa. The progressive slot allows for high and mid-denomination bets and a larger linked or standalone jackpot of $1m.

Unlike wide-area progressives, the $1m jackpots are paid immediately for the entire value and reset to $1m once this amount is hit by a lucky bettor. The $1m Dragon Link has a $25 minimum bet and $2,500 maximum bet – not bad considering the potential payout!

The Golden Century version incorporates Dragon Link’s famous Hold & Spin feature, with a chance to win up to 250x the player’s bet.

Since its launch in Florida, there has been a high demand for these high-denomination slot machines. Peppermill Resort Spa Casino, Nevada, is the latest venue to embrace the frenzy around this game, installing two of these slot machines on its premises.

The 25-line machine features symbols that will be iconic to slot fanatics – oriental -themed characters and cultural artifacts mixed with more traditional money icons and Kings, Queens and Jacks. 

The Seminole Tribe of Florida has embraced the $1m Dragon Link slot, which has been installed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa and Seminole Coconut Creek Casino Seminole. The Hard Rock Tampa alone has paid out over $1.6bn in jackpots to more than 56,000 individuals in 2021. There have been over 581,000 jackpots awarded, which equates to over a jackpot paid per minute.

Dragon Link is one of the most popular slot games in the world.
