The usual shopping list of big winners at online casinos consists of paying bills, buying a home or car, saving for the children's education and splurging on an overseas vacation. But the latest big winner at LeoVegas.com has some unusual plans for spending his windfall payout of £570,407.
LeoVegas.com Player Wins Big On Siberian Storm Slots
Like quite a few big winners at online casinos, this LeoVegas.com player has decided to remain anonymous. The online casino has however revealed that the winner was a 49 year-old man from a small town in Sweden and was wagering at the mobile casino site. The slot game that delivered was an IGT favourite titled Siberian Storm Mega Jackpot. The player intends to start his own gaming business. He told LeoVegas.com that he will most likely set up a kiosk for people to place horse racing bets. This way he will be able to leave something for his children when he retires. He added, "I also want to start giving money to charity on a regular basis." This is really big hearted of him and no amount of praise is sufficient.
Though his plans are different, the lucky slots player's reaction to the big win was the same as that of most big winners at online casinos. He was playing from home when he won and was in total shock. He asked his son to look at the slots screen and confirm that he had really won this life changing amount. When the reality sank in both father and son had to struggle to keep the tears of happiness away. The £570k payout was also the best birthday present the player ever received. The big win came just four days before his 49th birthday.
LeoVegas.com UK Licensed Online Casino
Shenaly Amin, UK country manager for LeoVegas.com, said that 2015 has been a great year for the online casino so far. Though this win of half a million pounds was big, it was nowhere near the biggest delivered by LeoVegas.com. Two months ago another Swedish player scooped up £4.4million in the Mega Fortune jackpot, the biggest prize ever won on a mobile device. Amin lauded the latest big winner on his decision of donating to charity. She said, "We're also looking forward to hearing more about the winner's plans to open his own betting shop."
Though LeoVegas.com is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority for global players, it is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for British players. In March 2015, the online casino completed its first twelve months of activity in the United Kingdom.
