Second jackpot of the month hits in Biloxi, this one on a $200 slot machine spin

Make that five jackpots won at Biloxi casinos so far this year.

Hard Rock Casino Biloxi is the latest to announce a jackpot hit on June 13 in the casino’s high limits room.

The player, who didn’t sign a release for his or her identity to be released, bet $200 on a Double Diamond Deluxe slot machine spin. The game paid a $160,000 jackpot.

Hard Rock Biloxi is known for jackpots and still holds the record for the largest jackpot won in Mississippi — $14.4 million won by a Biloxi man in 2009 on a Wheel of Fortune progressive machine.

In July 2018, a Florida man won $1.29 million, also on a Double Diamond machine in the high limits area. He was playing the maximum bet of $20 per spin. While waiting for the Mississippi Gaming Commission to verify that win, the man started playing a nearby machine and hit for another $14,000.
