South African wins one million rand online casino jackpot

A 33-year-old South African online casino player has reportedly won a R1,000,000 jackpot prize off a R4000,000 cash back bonus, Thunderbolt Online Casino claims.

Identified as Adriaan Botha, the punter allegedly won the jackpot playing the Bubble Bubble 2 slot on his mobile device.

It is unusual that a win of this size would have been so widely publicised as online gambling is illegal in South Africa with recent warnings from the South African National Gambling Board (NGB) saying all winnings will be confiscated and winners could face criminal charges.

A press statement from the South African-facing Thunderbolt Online Casino reads:

“If you want to win, all I can say is keep playing and believing in your favorite and lucky games. Mine haven’t let me down yet,” said the winner from his home in Pietermaritzburg. “I won playing Bubble Bubble 2. For me, this game always pays. It’s one of my favorites — alongside Dragon Orb, Asgard, Small Fortune and Lucky 6.”

Bubble Bubble 2 is a sequel to Realtime Gaming’s Halloween slot game.

“We always give players a partial refund if they make a deposit and don’t win anything,” a Thunderbolt statement by Casino manager Alisa Van Der Merwe, reads. “Adriaan had his incredible million Rand winning streak playing with R4000 that had just been refunded to him!”
