Win up to $1000 cash during Friday hot seat drawings
Lake of the Torches Casino is putting extra cash in play on Fridays this month with the “Plunge into Cash” hot seat drawings. On February 13, 20, and 27, 2026, players who are actively playing slots with their Lake Club card inserted between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM will be eligible for random hot seat selections and instant prizes. Prizes range from $150 in Free Play up to $1,000 cash, so staying in your seat can pay off fast.
When and how winners are picked
Drawings run every Friday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM during the promotion dates above. Entry is automatic — no separate sign-up is required — as long as you’re actively playing slots with your Lake Club card. If your machine is selected as a “hot seat,” and you’re the player in that seat, you win. Winners must be physically present to collect cash prizes.
Prize breakdown you should know
Prizes available during the hot seat sessions include:
- $150 Free Play, credited to your Lake Club account
- $250 cash
- $500 cash
- $1,000 cash.
Cash awards are handed out on site, while Free Play is credited to your Club card and typically can be downloaded to slot machines. Free Play often carries short expiration windows, so plan to use it the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the specific offer.
Best games to keep the entries coming
Only slot play with your Club card counts for hot seat eligibility, so pick slot titles you enjoy and that give good session value. Lake of the Torches features a wide range of Pragmatic Play titles, including high-action video slots and classic options.

How to maximize your chances (responsibly)
Because entries are based on active slot play, keep these practical tips in mind:
- Insert your Lake Club card and play consistently during the 5:00 PM–9:00 PM window.
- Stay at your machine; winners must be present to claim cash prizes.
- Use bet levels you’re comfortable with — there’s no need to overspend to gain eligibility.
- If you’re not yet a member, stop by the Lake Club desk to sign up in person.
