The winner, who has been coming to the Hard Rock since it opened in 2004, enjoys playing at the casino about four times a week.  He always plays the slots that have the highest jackpots and Dancing Drums® is one of his favorites. 

“I woke up that morning and tended to a business matter, and had a feeling I would win if I went to the casino.   After a short stop at Seminole Classic Casino to get a gift, I went over to Hard Rock and played for a little while on that machine, then switched to another one right next to it and went back to the first machine; and about three minutes later hit the jackpot,” said Antonio. “The best part when I won is that all the employees came over to congratulate me and were so happy that I hit the jackpot.  The employees at Hard Rock are like family; Hard Rock takes care of their employees and I like that.”

When asked what he intends to do with the winnings, he stated he plans to put a down payment on a house for his son and daughter.
