LONDON, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

It pays to play at BetVictor as one customer this Bank Holiday weekend walked away with a staggering £4.5 million jackpot after playing the aptly named 'Mega Fortune' on BetVictor Casino. Sandro, 46, started with just £65 in his account and quickly turned this into £150; 17 minutes later and his life had changed forever as he became a multi-millionaire and walked away with one of the biggest wins ever recorded in the history of online gaming.

Sandro first discovered BetVictor via an online forum where existing BetVictor members spoke highly of the company's website and so he decided to check it out. Sandro has been a fan ever since and can't believe his luck this week.

"I can't begin to describe what winning the jackpot feels like, it's such an adrenaline rush, like being in a comet that flies you around the world in a second," BetVictor Casino winner, Sandro explains, "I only placed a £5 bet on the winning spin which proves you don't have to bet high to win a large sum." Although Sandro won't reveal exactly what he plans on spending the amount on, he did confide that "I will be able to make my dreams come true, without forgetting my family and friends around me of course."

Sandro continues "BetVictor has a great family of online games: the slots, the truly unique casino and the sports betting site with so many innovative markets from all over the sporting world to choose from. It's one of the best online sites I ever have been lucky enough to play on. I am proud to be a member of BetVictor and would like to say a huge thank you to the company for this unique and life changing experience."

"This is an incredible end to the Bank Holiday weekend for one of our BetVictor customers," commented Head of BetVictor Casino Andrew Dymock, "it gives us great pleasure to hand over the mouth-watering cheque to such a loyal customer. It is the biggest win we have had in our history. We have a unique offering of over 600 games across our casino websites, with several £Million jackpots still to play for and I'm sure with the growth in our gaming business we will see more multi-million £ winners in the future!"

The £4.5m win (Euros 5,306,611.59) is only topped by one other pay-out by a UK online bookmaker of £5.1m last year.
