Doubling Up to the Million Dollar Club

This week, another millionaire was born, or rather made. The winner, a man from England, played Jacks or Better video poker, doubling up over and over again, a total of 16 times, and making $1,310,720. His initial bet? A mere five dollars!

The Englishman cum millionaire was playing $1 Jacks or Better. At the time of his winning session, he was wagering $5 at a time. After winning his first hand, he was given the option to double up. Doubling up is a special feature at the gambling websites, in which there is no house edge involved, and chances are a fair 50/50. From here on it was all luck, and the lucky man proceeded to double up successfully 16 times in a row.

The big winning has proved that the sites are truly rewarding for those who gamble. Not big sums, but a big-time attitude. "I'm a gambler," the winner said after the winning. "I thought about cashing out after breaking $40,000, but decided to continue." A true gambling spirit and another millionaire entering the distinguished Million Dollar Club.
