- Hard Rock Bet recently concluded its “Jackpot Season”
- The promotion was limited to New Jersey
- Online casino players won more than $2.2 million in slots jackpots
Hard Rock Bet wound up its “Jackpot Season” promotion with a military veteran winning a major prize.
Hard Rock Bet is an online casino platform operating in New Jersey through a partnership with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. The iGaming platform’s Jackpot Season, which ran from April 14 through July 6, included jackpot hits every day, with major wins each Sunday.
The interactive gaming unit tells Casino.org that more than $2.2 million was paid out during the 83-day marketing campaign, or about $24,100 a day. The run ended two Sundays ago, with Hard Rock Bet revealing that the final jackpot winner had a good story to tell.
Navy Vet Wins Big
James G., of Atco, NJ, in Camden County, told Hard Rock Bet that he was gambling on the online casino when he claimed the final jackpot of the Jackpot Season.
I am a Navy veteran so I played Red, White & Blue since it was the Fourth of July weekend. At 10:00 pm, it said the jackpot was won. I wondered who it was and then my screen displayed that I had won. I was amazed and elated. This is like a dream come true and will help with my retirement next month.”
James G.’s jackpot was worth $62,607.95. Red, White & Blue comes from IGT.
Just days earlier, a much richer jackpot was won on Independence Day. Ilyndove, of Princeton, hit for $462,875.98 playing Red Tiger’s Rainbow Jackpots. Ilyndove says she was restless that holiday night and decided to pass some time by playing the online Hard Rock casino on the couch.
It was one of those restless nights where sleep just wouldn’t come. Not wanting to wake my husband, I tiptoed into the living room and curled up on the couch. To pass the time, I decided to play a few rounds of online slots,” Ilyndove said.
“Then came the jackpot symbols – one … two … and then, out of nowhere, the third one landed. I froze … Without a second thought, I sprinted into the bedroom yelling, ‘I won! I won!’ We’ve only been married a month, and we just bought our first home. This win couldn’t have come at a better time. If anyone ever doubted the luck of the Irish, let me be your proof,” Ilyndove added.
Hard Rock Bet’s Jackpot Season was its inaugural run. The “Daily Must-Drop Jackpot” was exclusive to Red Tiger games.
New Jersey is the only state where Hard Rock Bet operates an online casino. The digital betting app is available for sports gambling in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Online Casino Players Win Elsewhere, Too
While the Hard Rock Bet Jackpot Season was limited to New Jersey, online casino players in Pennsylvania and Michigan have also fielded life-changing wins recently.
A slots player on BetRivers in Pennsylvania on July 10 won a jackpot playing Bass Boss Megaways worth $252,326.65. The game also comes from Red Tiger.
And in June, the Golden Nugget Online Casino in Michigan delivered a lucky slots player a $444K jackpot and a $493K prize to a blackjack player in Pennsylvania.
