    Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Hollywood Awards Second $1 Million MEGABUCKS® MEGAJACKPOT® on October 17

     

    Jackpot Hits on the same Megabucks® Slot that Awarded $1.1 Million Jackpot on September 29

     

    HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Hollywood awarded an incredible $1,028,215 Megabucks® Video MegaJackpot® on Saturday, October 17th.

               

    The winner, who asked to remain anonymous, said she came to the casino for an "evening out" and chose the winning machine at random. When asked what went through her mind when she realized she had won the top progressive prize, the new millionaire said she was "excited and shocked." The winner went on to say that as of yet, she has no immediate plans for her winnings beyond "collecting them."

     

    Saturday's MegaJackpot® is the second million-dollar prize to be awarded at the casino in less than one month. On September 29th the casino paid the first-ever Florida Megabucks® MegaJackpot® in the amount of $1,110,779. That jackpot was won on the same exact Megabucks® slot machine at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Hollywood that produced Saturday's $1 million jackpot.

     

    Seminole Casinos have been paying million-dollar MegaJackpot® prizes for the last two years. In July 2008, Seminole Casino – Coconut Creek paid an incredible $2 million prize on a Wheel of Fortune® Special Edition machine. A few months later, on November 25th, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Tampa paid a $2.5 million prize, followed by a $1.1 million hit in February 2009. Then, on August 30th, Seminole Casino - Immokalee paid a record-breaking $3.5 million on a Wheel of Fortune ® five-dollar progressive game. Combined, Seminole Casinos have now awarded eleven MegaJackpot® prizes totaling nearly $11 million.

               

    Megabucks® Video is a multi-denominational progressive system in which the player attempts to line up the Megabucks® symbols that will trigger the MegaJackpot®. A player wins the MegaJackpot® when five of the recognizable Megabucks® Eagle symbols land on the 12th payline with max coins bet. The Megabucks® progressive jackpot starts at $1 million. Players are also treated to an array of exciting bonus games. Three Coins and Bills symbols on a played payline launch the Mega Match Bonus which includes a 2X and 5X multiplier that can add up to ten times the opulence of any jackpot.
