Roofer Takes Out £258k Blackjack Jackpot At Leeds Casino
Posted: Thursday, January 6th, 2022
A roofer has won the jackpot and pocketed an incredible quarter of a million pounds after being dealt one of the rarest hands in blackjack - a player and dealer Suited Ace-King. Richard, 36, couldn’t believe his eyes after the cards landed on the table and he realised he’d be receiving £258,750 in winnings. And what makes this story even better - it was the first time the tradesman had set foot in the Grosvenor Casino on Wellington Bridge Street in Leeds. Beginners luck eh? As reported by Leeds Live, the tradesman said: “If I’m honest when I was playing, I didn’t realise I had won the jackpot." "My friend had to tell me I had won and even then, I simply couldn’t believe what was happening to me and I couldn’t believe the amount I had won either." What a stroke of luck "It didn’t feel real and on top of it all, it was the first time I had set foot in the Leeds Westgate casino, so it really was my lucky night." "I would like to say a massive thank you to all the Grosvenor Casino staff too who helped me celebrate in style.” The roofer plans to spend the cash on a deposit for a house he can share with his girlfriend as well as a trip to Vegas…so he can join his dad on a golf trip.
