Unlike a wide-area progressive, these jackpots are paid immediately for the entire value and reset to $1m once the jackpot is hit.

Peppermill serves as the Northern Nevada location for these high-denomination slots.

The Dragon Link $1m jackpot game has a $25 minimum bet, and a $2,500 maximum bet.

Peppermill General Manager Billy Paganetti said: “We are excited to introduce this high-end slot game to our guests. We pride ourselves on offering the best quality slot products, and we think that guests will be thrilled to play this popular machine with a progressive jackpot starting at $1m.”

The new Dragon Link games can be found in the resort’s high-limit slot area.

In November 2022, Aristocrat reported revenue of AU$5.6bn (US$3.79bn) for the 12 months ended 30 September 2022, an 18% year-on-year increase in reported terms.

EBITDA was AU$1.85bn, a 20% increase from the prior-year period, with Aristocrat reporting a net cash position of AU$564m and liquidity of AU$3.8bn on 30 September 2022.

Meanwhile, Aristocrat also agreed to a deal to acquire UK-based iGaming supplier Roxor Gaming earlier this year.

Currently, Roxor’s platform is live in New Jersey, and both companies plan to expand in North America and the UK.

The deal, which is still subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, is expected to complete early in 2023.
