The Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California has paid a San Bernardino County man $1,010,344 after he hit the jackpot playing a Dragon Link Peace & Long Life slot by Aristocrat Gaming.
The player has opted to maintain his anonymity.
The Dragon Link is paying big of late.

This was the fourth $1 million-plus jackpot on Dragon Link at Pechanga Resort Casino in less than a year. Eleven days prior In March 2026, a guest walked away with $1,339,477. In May 2025, a winner from Temecula took home $1,044,559. A guest who played the exact same machine on March 13, 2025, hit the progressive for $1,232,300.
Dragon Link machines (including Peace and Long Life) usually have:
- Hold (house edge): ~8% to 12% (varies by casino setting)
- Average bet: Let’s assume $1–$5 per spin for a typical player
- Typical RTP: ~88% to 92%
The Pechanga Resort Casino isn't necessarily known for having the loosest slots.

"This casino has the tightest slots ever !! I keep trying to give them a chance but everytime I just am donating .. it’s really no fun when you can never win .. at least balance out a little maybe ? If I’m spending 500-1000 dollars in 2 hours on penny slots that’s terrible !!! Never again !"
