A Texas visitor to Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant won a $1.14 million Dragon Link grand jackpot on October 26, the first top prize paid by the game since it debuted at the Oklahoma property in April 2026.
A player from Dallas won a $1.14 million jackpot on the Dragon Link slot game at Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant in Oklahoma on Monday, October 26. The casino identified the winner as Max M.
According to the report, he is the first guest to take the game's guaranteed $1 million grand jackpot at the property. The venue is the only casino in Oklahoma that offers the Dragon Link title, which it introduced in April 2026. Since the launch, the game has paid more than $20 million in jackpot prizes in total, but none of those payouts had been the grand prize until now.
Speaking to the casino, the winner said he almost fell over when he realized what had happened. He said he plans to buy a house and also intends to return to the Durant property to play again.
Thomas O'Sullivan, the casino's director of marketing, said the resort is always looking for ways to bring guests new games, calling the $1 Million Dragon Link a good example. He added that the team is pleased to see guests enjoy the games it brings in and leave as winners.
The Dragon Link slot machine offers four themes: Happy & Prosperous, Golden Century, Autumn Moon and MarsX Upright. Betting limits are flexible, with wagers ranging from $5 to $1,000, which allows the game to serve both budget-conscious players and high rollers.
