A Michigan player won $128,319.21 from a 96-cent wager on Thundering Shenlong, an online slot at Hard Rock Bet, on Sept. 5. The payout was more than 133,000 times the amount the player bet.
The operator’s Oct. 12 payout report also featured three 6-figure Michigan wins on Cash Eruption High Stakes.
The largest was a $240,000 payout on Sept. 30, bringing the four highlighted wins at Hard Rock Bet Casino in Michigan to a combined $575,519.21.
Cash Eruption High Stakes delivers three six-figure Michigan wins
Cash Eruption High Stakes produced payouts throughout the month, beginning with a $100,000 Michigan win on Sept. 4. The game then paid $107,200 on Sept. 17 and $240,000 on Sept. 30, bringing those three wins to a combined $447,200.
In New Jersey, the same report highlighted a $250,000 payout on Legend of the Pharaohs on Sept. 4. That was $10,000 more than the largest Michigan win featured in the roundup.
Hard Rock Bet did not disclose the bet sizes behind the three Michigan Cash Eruption wins or how much the players spent during their sessions. Those details would be needed to compare the payouts with the original wagers and determine whether the players finished their sessions ahead.
The game belongs to IGT PlayDigital’s High Stakes collection, which launched in summer 2025. Cash Eruption High Stakes was the first title released in the collection, giving players a higher-limit version of the original slot.
IGT says its High Stakes games allow higher maximum bets and offer faster gameplay. Players familiar with the original Cash Eruption should review the available bet sizes before switching to the high-stakes version and placing a wager.
Thundering Shenlong pairs respins with progressive jackpots
Hard Rock Bet identified the wager and payout for the Thundering Shenlong win but did not specify which jackpot or bonus feature produced it.
Lightning Box, a Light & Wonder studio, developed the dragon-themed slot with five reels and 243 ways to win. Matching symbols can form winning combinations across consecutive reels from the left, without needing to follow the fixed paylines used in some other slots.
The game includes free games, respins, and upgraded respins. During the respin feature, players collect prizes from lightning bolts that land on active reels, with each qualifying bolt resetting the respin counter to three.
Its Grand and Major prizes are progressive jackpots, meaning their values can grow over time, while the Mini and Minor prizes remain fixed. The upgraded respin feature runs across two screens.
Players can consult the in-game paytable for details on which symbols trigger each feature and how their selected wager affects the prizes available.
Original Cash Eruption remains among the most-played games
The original Cash Eruption also appeared in Hard Rock Bet’s separate September game rankings, holding fifth place for a second consecutive month. That leaderboard combines the number of individual players who played each title in Michigan and New Jersey.
Hard Rock Bet listed a betting range of 20 cents to $40 per spin for the original Cash Eruption. Those limits apply to the standard game, rather than the high-stakes version behind September’s three Michigan payouts.
Hard Rock Triple Prosperity led the September rankings after climbing 18 places and attracting more than twice as many players as in August. Lightning Link Tiki Fire debuted in second, while Wolf It up Again! finished third and Hard Rock Hotstepper placed fourth.
