Florida Man Hits $104K Jackpot Twice in 24 Hours at Atlantic City Casino

Lightning struck twice for a Florida tourist at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. Within just 24 hours, he won two massive slot payouts totaling $104,475. His first win came at 9:56 p.m. on Sept. 19 - a cool $60,000. The next day at 2 p.m., the machines paid out another $44,475.

The player, who chose to stay unnamed, stuck to his strategy. Each spin cost him $375. Both wins came from Aristocrat's Golden Century Dragon Link slots, though he switched up the $5 settings between tries.

Such quick repeat wins stand out as rare, even for seasoned casino staff. Workers at the New Jersey gaming spot verified the back-to-back jackpots.

Since opening its first casino in 1976, the beachside city has drawn gamblers from far and wide. Each year, about 27 million people visit these shores to try their luck.

Just a short trip from New York City, this coastal gaming town has grown into much more than slots and tables. Visitors find entertainment of all kinds along the famous Boardwalk.

The Hard Rock stands tall among Atlantic City's gaming spots. Its vast gaming floor features countless slots and table games. The Dragon Link machines that paid those huge wins sit among hundreds of other options.
