2 big jackpots just hours apart at Hard Rock Atlantic City

Two six-figure jackpots before dinner? That was the Saturday afternoon story at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

Guests from Virginia and New Jersey won a combined $460,888 on November 7, with the jackpots arriving just two hours and 50 minutes apart. Dragon Link delivered the first big win, followed by a quarter-million-dollar payout on Wheel of Fortune.

The wins also marked the second consecutive weekend that two guests at the Atlantic City property hit major slot jackpots.

Virginia Guest Wins $210,888 on Dragon Link

The first jackpot arrived at 2 p.m., when a Virginia man placed a $25 wager on Dragon Link Happy and Prosperous by Aristocrat Gaming and won $210,888, according to the property’s announcement.

For players who recognize Aristocrat’s games from the casino floor, another familiar name is available at Hard Rock Bet Online Casino: Lightning Link.

Both Lightning Link High Stakes and Lightning Link Tiki Fire are available in New Jersey and Michigan. The franchise is known for its Hold & Spin feature, with prize symbols locking into place as the bonus unfolds.

Ocean County Guest Wins $250,000 on Wheel of Fortune

At 4:50 p.m., an Ocean County, New Jersey, man followed with an even bigger payout.

His $50 wager on Double Diamond Wheel of Fortune by IGT resulted in a $250,000 jackpot, completing the afternoon’s pair of six-figure wins.

The recognizable Wheel of Fortune name also appears in Hard Rock Bet’s online casino selection, with different versions to explore depending on your state:

  • New Jersey: Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Deluxe Triple Stars Link
  • Michigan: Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin

Each version brings its own features to the franchise, so look for the full title when browsing the app.
