A New Jersey player won $250,000 on Legend of the Pharaohs, an online slot at Hard Rock Bet, on Sept. 4.

It was the largest casino payout highlighted in the operator’s September wins roundup.

The Oct. 12 report also featured four 6-figure Michigan wins across two other slots. New Jersey’s payout was $10,000 higher than the largest of those individual wins.

Hard Rock Bet did not disclose the New Jersey player’s wager or identify the feature behind the payout.

New Jersey win follows August’s $2.9 million Mega Jackpot

September’s featured payout followed a much larger New Jersey win the previous month. Rose M. of Linden won a Mega Jackpot worth nearly $2.95 million on Aug. 14 while playing Long Xing Da Da.

Hard Rock Bet reported that a $2 wager produced the $2,949,857.40 prize. At the time, the operator described it as the largest jackpot payout in its online casino history.

That August win came through Hard Rock Bet’s optional jackpot system, which runs across eligible slots. The operator did not say whether the same system was involved in September’s $250,000 payout.

Legend of the Pharaohs pairs free spins with reel bonuses

Legend of the Pharaohs is an Egyptian-themed slot in Light & Wonder’s portfolio, available at Hard Rock Bet Casino in New Jersey. The slot has five reels and 20 paylines, according to its published rules.

Regular wins require at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the left. The free-spins feature begins when three or more blue pyramid symbols land anywhere on the reels.

Three pyramids award 10 free spins with one bonus active. Four or five pyramids award the same number of free spins with two or three bonuses active.

Those bonuses can turn entire reels wild, enlarge symbols, or remove lower-paying symbols during free spins. The in-game pay table explains how each bonus works and how the selected wager affects prize amounts.

Michigan players collect four 6-figure payouts

Cash Eruption High Stakes produced the largest Michigan payout featured in September’s report, awarding $240,000 on Sept. 30. It also paid $100,000 on Sept. 4 and $107,200 on Sept. 17.

Thundering Shenlong delivered another Michigan win on Sept. 5, paying $128,319.21 from a 96-cent wager. That return exceeded 133,000 times the amount bet.

The operator provided the wager size for the Thundering Shenlong win but did not disclose the stakes behind the three Cash Eruption High Stakes payouts.

September’s leading slots start at different bet sizes

Hard Rock Bet’s separate September game rankings put Hard Rock Triple Prosperity in first place after an 18-position climb. The game attracted more than twice as many players as it did in August.

Cash Eruption finished fifth on the September leaderboard, behind fourth-place Hard Rock Hotstepper and third-place Wolf It up Again! New arrival Lightning Link Tiki Fire took second place. The rankings combine individual player counts from New Jersey and Michigan, measuring popularity rather than payouts.

New Jersey players comparing online slots will find different minimum bets among those titles. Triple Prosperity, Wolf It up Again! and Hotstepper start at 10 cents per spin, while the original Cash Eruption starts at 20 cents.

Tiki Fire has a 50-cent minimum. Gold Megaways, which ranked 10th, offers the lowest starting wager among the top-10 games available in New Jersey, with bets ranging from five cents to $12.
