Imagine a check for GBP 159 535 in your stocking!

Christmas came early this year for one online casino gamer when he unexpectedly hit the jackpot and was awarded an thriller of an early Christmas present of GBP 159 535 whilst playing Caribbean Stud Poker at Intercasino.

The lucky winner of this game told reporters: "Initially I thought I had won ten percent of the jackpot with a straight flush, when I checked my hand more carefully and realized I had a royal flush I was absolutely amazed. It took at least ten minutes for me to collect my thoughts."

Asked what he planned on doing with his winnings the excited player had the following to say, "In the short term, I am going to treat my family and friends to a great Christmas and new year, pay off my mortgage and then take a well deserved holiday sometime in the new year. However, I haven't decided where I'll go to on holiday yet, I am torn between about three or four places. Although, winning such a large amount of money, I'll be able to visit them all at some point."

The player has been a regular at Intercasino for two years, and added: "I learnt to play poker when I was twelve years old and have been playing both online and offline since then."
