You gotta play to win, UK online player's perfect GBP150,000 Xmas winning proves

[oldman]

A lucky online casino player won over GBP150,000 at attheracescasino.com.

Peter, from Middlesex, England’s South-East, struck gold when a GBP5 side bet on Caribbean Stud Poker displayed a Royal Flush and won him a staggering GBP125,000, reported Online Casino News. Peter’s main bet of GBP150 won him an additional GBP30,150 to take his total haul with a single bet to GBP155,150.

And, he was so surprised with his win that he immediately placed a GBP1,000 bet just to make sure it was true. To confirm his good fortune he even won that too. Peter said: “I normally play Blackjack but it wasn’t going as well as normal for me so I switched to Caribbean Stud. How lucky was that?”

At The Races, which is best known for its live horse racing channel, declared that it was the largest ever recorded win on its Casino.

I think it's about $1,7 mln - Major Million jackpot in Microgaming casino.

Besides jackpot I think it's $1,2 mln made by Pirate of Caribbean .

Doesn't anybody read the news???

YuraK is right. $1.7 million to a Major Millions player. But that was a public win. There have been higher winnings made and paid out, but these haven't been publicised by request of the player. These weren't Major Millions winnings BTW.

The Pirate's win doesn't count because he wasn't paid...in full at least...

Big winnings lure, but whenever I hear about them I recall Jack Whittaker's misfortune... Money made from nothing seems kind of tricky to me... perhaps am too pessimistic

Really? I wasn't aware of that. I just have learnt something today. On which kind of games those wins happened (table or slots?). I am curious on this one.

You weren't aware of it because it wasn't publicized. I believe it was mostly roulette. Both the player and the casino have requested anonymity, so that's about as much as you'll get out of me...
