Online Casino Player Bets $5 to Win $1.3 Million at Bodog

2006 November 10, Jonny Vincent

Bodog Online Casino excitedly announced this week that they've launched another online casino player into the Millionaires' Club after the player in question went on a dream run in the game Jacks or Better Video Poker.

The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, was playing from his Forge Cottage (England) home and placed a $5 bet on arguably the most popular Video Poker game of all-time, Jacks or Better. The player began with only a small wager, but his winnings weren't small – a whopping $1,310,720!

One might think that the Bodog Casino owner, Calvin Ayre, would be disappointed at paying out over $1 million to one of his players, but this couldn't be further from the truth: Bodog Casino continuously aims to raise the bar with this type of entertainment and we couldn't be more happy to make some dreams happen while we're at it. For the player who likes a game of skill, a low house edge and the possibility of large wins, there is nothing else that can compare to Bodog video poker."

The lucky English winner was playing $1 Jacks or Better and wagering 5 coins, which translates to $5 per spin. In Video Poker, you should always play the max coins as, when playing max coins, you have the chance to win the massive jackpots only available to players playing max coins. However, this million-dollar story is unique in that the player did not hit a Royal Flush to win the jackpot, but went about getting his winnings another way.

The player won $5 on a single spin with a pair of Queens. He then chose to parlay his $5 win into as big a score as he could manage. Some online casinos prevent players from doubling up more than a few times, however Bodog Casino doesn't have this restriction. The British national went on a historic amazing run of double-up wins, doubling up 16 times in a row successfully, and finished his short gambling session and instant millionaire.

"I'm a gambler. I like to gamble," the lucky player said. "I thought about cashing out after breaking $40,000, but decided to continue. Then when I broke one million, I was tempted by the thought of doubling up on over one million dollars, but finally decided against it."

Bodog Casino real money play remains available to all players worldwide, including US players. They have all of the most popular online casino games, and were ranked No. 1 by Casino Player Magazine this year for having the best customer service in the industry.
