Florida woman hit $1 million jackpot at a Tampa casino. Then she did it again.
A Florida woman recently doubled her good fortunes at a Tampa casino, when she hit a $1 million jackpot for the second time in just three weeks.
The Clearwater woman, identified only as Gloria, scored both top prizes while playing a slot machine game called Dragon Link at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa at 5223 Orient Road.
Dragon Link is a progressive slot game, meaning that the jackpot gradually rises with each bet until someone wins.
The lucky gambler won her first jackpot of over $1.2 million on Dec. 22. She had placed a $50 bet, Hard Rock staff say.
“All I wanted for Christmas was to hit that progressive jackpot,” the woman said in a press release. “I still can’t believe my holiday wish came true.”
The second victory came on Jan. 9, when she went back to the Tampa Hard Rock and won over $1 million on the same game.
The location is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida and offers about 5,000 slot machines, 179 table games and a 46-table poker room.
The Dragon Link game is also offered at Seminole Hard Rock locations in Hollywood and Coconut Creek.
