Imagine celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary with a night out at a casino destination and then coming away with £25,000. 

That’s precisely what happened to a 74-year-old man from Reading who won a £25,000 jackpot while visiting the Grosvenor Casino.  

The man who did not wish to be identified was playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and he managed to turn a £1 side bet into the significant win. 

Over the Moon with Huge Win 

The anonymous player expressed his delight, saying the win made the anniversary celebration unforgettable.  

He said, “I’m absolutely over the moon to have won the jackpot. 

“I’ve visited the casino for a long time, but I’ve never won anything quite this big before, and what a special occasion to do so. This has made my 50th anniversary celebrations unforgettable, and it will take a while to sink in.” 

Casino Manager Delighted for Regular Customer’s Double Celebration 

Mark Stothard, General Manager at Grosvenor Casinos Reading, said, “We’re delighted for one of our regular customers to have won the jackpot. 

“To win big whilst celebrating 50 years of marriage made the night extra special—we wish him the very best celebrating his winnings.”

Most of my career was spent in teaching including at one of the UK’s top private schools. I left London in 2000 and set up home in Wales raising four beautiful children. I enrolled at University where I studied Photography and film and gained a Degree and subsequently a Masters Degree. In 2014 I helped launch a new local newspaper and managed to get front and back page as well as 6 filler pages on a weekly basis. I saw that journalism was changing and was a pioneer of hyperlocal news in Wales. In 2017 I started one of the first 24/7 free independent news sites for Wales. Having taken that to a successful business model I was keen for a new challenge. Joining the company is exciting for me especially as it is a new role in Europe. I am keen to establish myself and help others to do the same.
