A night of low-stakes gaming at Grosvenor Casino Brighton turned into a six-figure payday when a regular player hit the Ace King Suited jackpot, netting £134,000 from a £1 side bet.
The player, who asked not to be named, was playing a standard game of Blackjack when they drew a suited Ace and King, the hand that triggers the game’s top payout. The win sparked cheers across the casino floor.
“I still can’t believe it,” the winner said.
“One minute I was just playing for fun, the next I’d won more than I ever imagined. The energy in the room was unbelievable, and everyone around celebrated. It’s a night I’ll remember forever.”
Rare Hand, Major Payout
The Ace King Suited side bet is a popular feature at Grosvenor Casinos. Available on most Blackjack tables, it allows players to place a £1 wager for a chance at jackpot-level prizes, paid out when certain premium hands are dealt. Hitting the jackpot requires both the Ace and King of the same suit.
According to industry estimates, the odds of receiving a suited Ace-King in the initial two cards are 1 in 833, a rare event, which helps explain the jackpot’s size.
Big Win Amid Major Refurb
Grosvenor Casino Brighton, located on the city’s seafront opposite the Palace Pier, is currently undergoing a £2.5 million refurbishment aimed at enhancing its gaming and hospitality experience. The upgrade will include redesigned gaming floors, improved décor, and updated tech features to appeal to a broader demographic of South Coast players.
General manager Daren Brain praised the player and the atmosphere their win created.
“We’re delighted for our winner. Moments like this are what make the casino atmosphere so special,” Brain said. “Seeing a regular customer take home such an incredible prize created a real buzz across the casino floor. We wish them all the best and look forward to welcoming them back soon.”
