Two visitors to the Grosvenor Casino in Cardiff, Wales, have struck it rich, winning a combined total of £38,000 (approximately 4.86 million rubles). Callum, a truck driver and a regular at the Grosvenor on Hemingway Road, hit a progressive jackpot of £16,000 (over 2 million rubles). Meanwhile, Luke, a sales manager at an insurance company, won a jackpot of £22,000 (2.8 million rubles) while playing the exclusive electronic roulette game, Going For Gold.
Both winners have already made plans for how to spend their winnings. Callum intends to use his prize as a deposit on his dream home, while Luke is considering relocating from Wales to England and treating his family to a vacation at Disneyland.
Reflecting on his win, Callum said, "I was in complete shock. I’ve always played the progressive jackpot, but I never dreamed I would win. It didn’t feel real until the money hit my account. The timing couldn’t be better, as my unexpected luck has opened up the possibility of putting down a deposit on a house."
Luke shared his own excitement: "It still doesn’t feel real; I can’t believe it! My brother and I were in disbelief—I thought it was a prank. I’m on cloud nine and definitely planning to book a holiday abroad. I’m also thinking about moving to England and buying a flat there."
Luke is a frequent visitor to the Grosvenor Casino, but on the day of his win, he and his brother hadn’t originally planned to go there.
Mark Stotard, the general manager of Grosvenor Casino Cardiff, expressed his congratulations: "Heartfelt congratulations to both of our winners from all the staff at the casino. The atmosphere was electric when they won, especially with Luke’s jackpot on Going For Gold. We hope Callum can secure his dream home, and we can’t wait to see photos from Luke’s holiday when he returns. We wish all our players the best of luck, and here’s to many more wonderful moments ahead."
