20p Spin Nets Fisherman £5.4 million Haul
October 30, 2013 11:38 amA Scottish deep sea fisherman has netted a £5.4 million haul, after scooping an enormous jackpot whilst playing the ‘Hall of Gods’ slot at BetVictor’s casino.
Incredibly, the Aberdeen family man won the multimillion pound payout by wagering just 20p a spin on the casino slot, eventually resulting in the lucky punter hitting the staggering £5.4 million ($8.7m) jackpot. Not surprisingly, the payout marked a record for UK online jackpots, and later commenting on his remarkable win, the Aberdeenshire man, said:
” I guess we all chase the dream and winning the biggest ever UK online jackpot has been a dream come true for me and my family as it will change our lives; we have no worries about the future now.”
The unamed man also added that he had been playing at BetVictor for a long time, mainly wagering across their sportsbook and poker games, when on that fateful day he decided to give the online casino slots a go. Attracting him to the slots were the life-changing jackpots on offer, and as he explains:
“..one day I thought I would give the casino slots a try too, as the jackpots are so tempting; but I never dreamt I could actually win so much. When I won the first person I told was my wife, she was as shocked as I was. I can only compare the feeling of winning as equal, but different, from the day I saw my son born.”
As to how the newly found millionaire’s life may change, the Scottish man said he still intends to continue fishing as it has always been an important part of his life, but that he will take some time out while he decides what to do with his winnings. In addition, he said he will also donate some of the money to charity to help those less fortunate who don’t seem able to catch a break in life.
After news of the incredible jackpot was released, Andrew Dymock, head of eGaming at BetVictor, commented: “I couldn’t be happier for one of our most loyal of Scottish customers to pick up this fantastic jackpot and it was a pleasure to congratulate him after his win. This jackpot is the biggest single win BetVictor has ever paid out and we are delighted to say that we’ve paid out £10 million to two lucky BetVictor players in the last six months.”
