The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, which Hard Rock International refers to as the "Luckiest Casino in the United States," has a heater in addition to another heater.
In a story that many people find unbelievable, Hard Rock claims that Maher O., a fortunate visitor, recently spent a day at their Tampa facility. In a single day on Friday, July 25, Maher won 389 jackpots totaling $1,827,160.80, according to the Seminole Tribe of Florida-owned and run business.
"Stories like this show just how exciting and rewarding a visit to Seminole Hard Rock Tampa can be,” said Joseph Wagner, vice president and assistant general manager of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. “This guest’s incredible day is certainly unique and it’s always thrilling to see someone have such an unforgettable experience.”
The $170,678.18 hit on Lock It Link, the $99,350 payout on Panda Magic Link, and the $258K from two handpays on Golden Century Dragon Link were among Maher's jackpots. Light & Wonder is the manufacturer of Lock It, while Aristocrat Gaming is responsible for the two additional link games that contributed significantly to Maher's newly discovered wealth.
"Crazy" Day
On Maher's most incredible day, Hard Rock posted a link to his Instagram feed, where he frequently posts videos of himself winning at slots. It's unclear if Maher used any promotional play to gamble. Maher is a SCUBA "divemaster" with OCD Divers, according to his Instagram feed. He has never before advertised Hard Rock or any other casino.
Maher described his day as a "blessing" to Casino.org.
"I never had so many handpays in one day. Basically, every machine I touch paid me a few times. I usually get a few handpays in a regular visit, but not crazy like this,” he added.
He was probably betting large amounts of money per spin, between $200 and $1,000, in order to hit 389 handpays. According to Hard Rock Tampa, the denominations of its high-limit slots can reach up to $1,000.
Favorite Casino Days
"What's the most jackpots you've hit in one day at a casino?" is the question posed in a Reddit thread with dozens of comments.
A few gamers responded that they had never earned $1,200 or more in a slot machine win or handpay. However, one guy claimed to have hit 32 handpays in a single day.
Looking over the entire thread, most people said they had never won more than five in a single trip, and none of them claimed to have hit more than 50 handpays in a single day.
