Dragon Link’s popularity
The game, known for its engaging features and global popularity, offers players the chance to win seven-figure prizes in a single spin.
Dragon Link has become a fan favorite worldwide thanks to its combination of immersive gameplay, eye-catching design, and substantial prize potential. MGM Grand Detroit was the first commercial casino in Michigan to bring the $1 million high-limit progressive version to its gaming floor, giving local players access to the same thrilling experience enjoyed by slot enthusiasts across the globe.
This win adds to an impressive streak of payouts at the downtown Detroit casino. Just eight months earlier, in November 2024, MGM Grand Detroit awarded a record $1,271,645 jackpot, also on a Dragon Link machine.
So far in 2025, the casino has given away a remarkable $215,616,004 in jackpots, including more than $28.7 million in July alone.
The Dragon Link jackpot is the latest headline-making moment in a year filled with big wins at MGM Grand Detroit. Visitors can try their luck on the popular slot, along hundreds of other slot and table games across the casino floor, which is all part of the resort’s mission to deliver world-class entertainment in Detroit.
