A local player was lucky enough to with the biggest Grosvenor Casino jackpot prize that has been ever won in the country. The punter took home an overall prize of £73,887.27 from the Merchant City-based Grosvenor Casino.
It is hard to say how much money one can win, as this is highly dependent on the casino rules and the size of the bet. The highest betting limits we've seen reach £10,000, which means that it is possible to get as much as £360, 000 with a single spin! The largest recorded single bet victory, however, is Chris Boyd's.
The massive winning of over £73,000 was generated at the Ace King Suited table game.
The jackpot winning comes only seven days after a massive jackpot winning estimated to £53,000 was taken down by another Grosvenor customer at the brand’s Riverboat casino.
Over the last couple of years, the Grosvenor Casino brand, which is currently one of the oldest and largest UK-based casino venues chain, reported that ten players have managed to generate massive cash prizes in Glasgow. Since 2015, the amount won by the punters in Glasgow has been estimated to £105,000.
The general manager of the casino venue in Merchan City, Debbie Johnston, commented on the player’s winning, saying that everyone at the casino were very happy with the fact that it was the Ace King Suited progressive side bet offered at by the casino brand brought the player the largest jackpot ever won at this particular casino venue.
Ms. Johnston shared that there are many other customers of the brand who have won jackpots across the UK, so it was a great thing that the Grosvenor Casino Merchant City became one of the venues that accounted for reaching the £320,000 milestone of winnings generated with the brand.
Currently, the Grosvenor Casino Merchant City offers a great selection of casino games to its customers, including blackjack, roulette, tournament poker, three-card poker and Texas Hold’em cash game tables. Slots machines and 28-inch HD electronic roulette terminals are also available.

If I'm playing any table game, I play a progression where my bet inches up after each win.
The highest I ever got was $135 on a progression that started at $15.
first was about 8 years ago when in my early 20's and brought 2500 with me for the 3 day weekend in Vegas. About 1 hour before leaving for the airport I was down half my bankroll(1250)...I made the decision that I was either gonna leave Vegas Even for the weekend OR spend the whole bankroll! I made a $1250 bet at the Pai Gow poker table.....I was dealt a not so great hand of AK with a pair of 4's.......Dealer showed 2 par 10's and 6's....I left down 2500 LOL
And the other was in poker......If you can count one hand as one bet...I was dealt A(h)J(h) under the gun at a $5/$10 NL table. I made it $30 to go.......highjack makes it $80 to go.......BB calls...I call(only becasue highjack is a very loose player...and BB had only been at the table for 10 min)......Flop....7(h)8(h)k(c)......BB bets $125.....I min raise $250..... highjack calls.....BB calls my raise.......Turn comes.....2(h).....BB checks........I bet.....$425......HJ calls....BB folds.........River comes...6(h)...I bet $500...HJ goes all in for $980.....I call.....He rolls 9(h)10(h)....I leave table to have a smoke LOL...after coming back to table BB tells me he had A(s)K(s). SO I lose 80+250+425+980=$1735............The funny thing is about 1 hour later I caught a HUGE suck out on the HJ and end up leaving the table for the night up $2200
was at Madalay Bay and six guys walked
up to an empty roulette table and bet $100
each on number 16. They were all from the
same company and 16 was an important
number to them for some reason. They
had just arrived and this was the first bet
of their trip. The floor supervisor examined

the bet and stood there as, you guessed it,
16 won! All 6 players won $3500 and they
went berzerk. Hugging and jumping high
5's and screaming and fists in the air. The
pit dude went immediately to the phone
and called whoever. He was very grim faced
and upset, they just lost 21K on one bet.
Jump ahead 90min. The idiots who won
gave almost all of it back. After the win,
they bet like maniacs, piling green chips
all over the board on every spin. As I recall
4 of them lost all of it and some of their
own BR, and 2 of them walked away with
a couple hundred. And boy, were they pissed
off. They were saying the game was fixed, the
casino was cheating, they were going to take

action in court, blah blah blah. Morons.Poker: One time I put $500 into a $750 pot on the RIVER with 9-high... yes 9-high... I knew one player missed and the other wasn't as strong as he was representing when he was betting. Showed the bluff on the end... Sometime I'll tell the whole story surrounding the hand, as it is one of my favorites.

I'm always amazed that players who are losing and seriously believe that the casino is cheating them keep playing anyway.
