6 Jun 2007
Many of us have read the stories of the instant millionaires who make their fortune at online casinos with possible disbelief. Some of us may even have scoffed at these stories, thinking that these kinds of things ‘never happen to me’. But besides the obvious reasons why we spend time at the online casinos (fun, entertainment, challenge and thrills), there is always that little something spurning us on, with the tiny thought at the back of our mind that we, too, could become the lucky jackpot winner that the media writes about.
For Omar Basseo of Switzerland, the classic rags to riches story really did come true. The 29-year old blacksmith never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that he would become the winner of the biggest online casino jackpot win in history. It is anyone’s guess what went through Basseo’s mind when he realized that he had won over $8-million playing the reels at InterCasino’s Millionaire’s Club progressive jackpot slot game. What makes this win more unbelievable is that it was Basseo’s first time that he had ever played the game.
Omar Basseo was quoted as saying: “I don't know what I will do with the money but I am looking forward to treating my family to a really great summer holiday, it will be the first time many of them have flown. I enjoy being a blacksmith but I need never work again." For those of you who ever doubted that dreams really do come true at online casinos, may this story act as an inspiration!
