A local business owner has walked away with a small fortune after winning a £54,000 jackpot prize from a £1 bet in a Blackjack game at Grosvenor Casino Reading South earlier this month.
The Chinese takeaway owner – who wishes to remain anonymous – had the perfect recipe for success during a game on a recent night at the casino. As the game was heating up with a head-to-head with the dealer, the winner was left in disbelief when his £1 turned into success.
Speaking about his prize, the mystery winner said: “I’ve won small amounts of money before, which was great, but winning this jackpot is really amazing.”
To win from a £1 bet, at least one of the player’s first two cards must match the dealer’s card that is facing up.
Congratulated by his fellow players and the casino team on such an exciting end to his game, the winner is remaining pragmatic about plans for his winnings.
“I’d like to think my reaction was quite humble, I guess I was too much in disbelief to actually react a the time,” he said. “This win has really made my year. I’m going to save up so I can treat myself to something nice later down the line.”
“A huge congratulations to our lucky winner from everyone here at the casino,” says general manager Mark Stothard. “It’s absolutely incredible to witness how he turned a £1 bet into a jaw-dropping fortune. Making people’s dreams come true with our jackpot wins is what it’s all about, and we hope that our winner’s luck continues for him and for everyone who visits our casino.”
