In December 2017, Aristocrat released what would quickly become a global phenomenon. The original Dragon Link boasted eye-popping jackpots, exciting game play, and the infamous “Hold & Win” bonus feature that’s responsible for turning hopeful casino enthusiasts into millionaires.
At the same time, it offers beginner-friendly spin minimums across a variety of denominations. Even though you’re not going to hit a seven-figure jackpot betting $0.50 to $1 per spin, there’s ample opportunity for players to earn sizable sums of cash as they hunt down fifteen fireballs.
The allure of Dragon Link is that you don’t necessarily have to bet big to win big. If you capture fifteen orbs during the Re-spin feature, you’ll take home the listed Grand Jackpot with no catch.
Over the years, Dragon Link has taken many forms – their million-dollar variant was launched in 2021. Let’s take a closer look at some massive jackpots that are guaranteed to make you drool.
1. Mystery Woman Goes Home A Millionaire With $1,584,840.42
Unfortunately, the woman who actually won $1,584,840.42 on Dragon Link is nowhere online. Five seconds of video footage is the only available proof of this life-changing jackpot, but we can confirm that she was betting $50 per spin before she triggered this fateful bonus feature.
She was speechless as coins flashed across the screen with her brand-new mansion in view.
2. EmoneyGambling Pockets $1,185,599.85 Betting $25 A Spin
EmoneyGambling takes the second spot on our list with an unbelievable handpay, but it’s more impressive that he was betting just $25 per spin at the time. Usually, major influencers have no luck spending between $250 and $500 at a clip. The crowd shrieked in excitement and disbelief.
Even the lucky player was shell-shocked as the realization of a seven-figure payday dawned on him. It’s not every day that someone hits the borderline equivalent of the Powerball in Sin City, but the emotion is unmatched whenever Las Vegas delivers the jackpots it became famous for.
3. Raja Slots Takes Home $1,081.105.15 Betting $250 Per Spin
Raja Slots, who also goes by the alias “The Big Jackpot,” enjoyed the handpay of a lifetime on high-limit Dragon Link in August 2024. He started off betting $50 per spin and spent thousands of dollars over the course of an hour. Raja blew through $12,497 before getting his first bonus.
He was able to double his money with a $27,000 jackpot win. Still, that’s chump change for a high roller like Raja. He felt emboldened enough to play the million-dollar variant of Dragon Link in light of his recent handpay. After losing $4,000, he added a $27,500 ticket to the game.
His bets ranged from $25 – $50 per spin until the last half of the video, when he decided to pour on the gas with bets ranging from $100 to $250. By the 40-minute mark of the video, Raja was going full-force with $250 bets. Finally, his record-breaking bonus came carrying a $12,500 orb.
By this point, Raja had gathered a crowd around his machine. He collected the fifteenth fireball on his final free spin, cementing his $1,081,105.15 handpay.
Honorable Mention: NG Slot Wins $253,796.98 Jackpot While Betting $500 A Spin
When it comes to betting big, few names are more recognizable than NG Slot. He always goes crazy on high-limit games, and Dragon Link is no exception. While he doesn’t (yet) have a spot in the record books, his earth-shattering session on Dragon Link was too exciting not to include.
He settled on Dragon Link: Happy & Prosperous and got busy with $500 spins. He announced that he would need to win a staggering $92,000 just to break even, and that’s notwithstanding the losses he incurred while playing this time around. Luckily, Las Vegas had a special delivery.
Even though he was spending truly insane amounts of cash up to $1,000 per spin, proportional jackpots kept his bankroll afloat until the grand finale. NG Slot was down to his last $5,000 and ready to pack it in, but a bonus arrived in the nick of time. He got the Major and two $25k orbs.
NG Slot’s luck changed for the better as he collected fifteen fireballs to win the Grand Jackpot of $148,493.98. During the bonus round, he also collected four Mini Jackpots. When it was all said and done, he walked away $253,796.98 richer. He also secured a running profit of $161,796.98.
That’s not bad for a half-hour at the casino!
