Circa Resort & Casino Hands $1M Payout to Lucky Dragon Link Player
Circa Resort & Casino confirmed that the mouth-watering prize was won from one of Aristocrat’s beloved Dragon Link slot machines

A lucky player has hit a big prize at the Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The player, who preferred to remain anonymous, was enjoying a Dragon Link game and scooped up a $1 million prize, according to the casino.
Circa Player Wins $1M
In its official announcement, Circa Resort & Casino confirmed that the mouth-watering prize was won from one of Aristocrat’s beloved Dragon Link slot machines. The casino also noted that the unidentified player won the prize on a $250 wager. The exact sum stood at $1,082,545.37.
Circa Resorts & Casino shared the happy news across its social media accounts, saying:
Last night, Dragon Link breathed fire… and left a million-dollar trail. The dragon’s awake…
Circa Resorts & Casino statement
People on Facebook and X congratulated the anonymous winner, praising them for winning such a life-changing sum. Many celebrated the awesome pot and some shared their own love for Aristocrat’s Dragon Link slots.
Some, however, raised their eyebrows at the size of the player’s bet. While even a few casual players can sometimes wager big due to time constraints or personal preferences, such wagers are more often associated with more well-off bettors.
One Facebook user was surprised and said that the $250 wager is money they have to look for just to pay a bill. Another suggested that the $1 million prize wouldn’t be life-changing to a player who can afford to spend $250 per bet.
Circa’s Slotapalozza Is Just Around the Corner
In the meantime, slot aficionados are getting ready for Circa’s upcoming Slotapalozza. The event was announced last month and is set to take place on July 19. Fans can look forward to a great atmosphere, tempting prizes, and premium entertainment.
Among other excitements, Slotapalozza will include a day-long tournament, open bar, $20,000 in free play, and plenty of merch giveaways for guests.
The best part? Everyone can attend for free.
In other news, Hard Rock Bet Casino just celebrated Independence Day with a big slot payout of its own. In the early hours of July 4, one lucky player won $462,875.98 on the Red Tiger Mega Jackpot game, highlighting its potential for big prizes.
