A lucky guest – Richard B. – won a $100,000 Mercedes AMG GLE 53 SUV as part of a celebration of $2 billion in jackpots paid out so far in 2024 by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.
How much is $2 billion? Enough to buy 10 of the $190 million mansion in Malibu, California bought by Beyoncé, or 66 of the world’s most expensive car, the $30 million Rolls Royce Boat Tail, or six of the $300 million super yacht, the world’s most expensive super yacht currently for sale, or enough to buy all of the tickets for Taylor Swift’s recent global tour.
Richard B. was playing a Dollar Storm – Caribbean Gold $0.25 progressive slot machine with a $18.75 bet. He won $1,680 on the machine, which pushed the casino’s total slots payout for 2024 to over $2 billion. The win earned him the new Mercedes in recognition of surpassing the slot payout milestone.
“This is absolutely amazing,” said the winner. “I stopped in to play for just a minute, hit a jackpot, and suddenly I was whisked away to find out I won a car. I’ve been playing at Hard Rocks forever, but this is the first time I’ve ever won a car.”
In addition to Richard B.’s good fortune, 881 guests playing with their Unity Card each received $25 in Bonus Free Play. A total of $22,025 was awarded.
