A regular at the Lac du Der casino in Giffaumont-Champaubert (Marne) won the jackpot of a slot machine on Saturday: 95,251 euros. This is the largest amount ever won by a player in the establishment.
And the lucky one had simply bet… a 50-cent coin, reports France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne. This resident of Epernay (Marne) did not wish to give her name. She finally returned home with 82.201 euros, once the deduction of the CSG made.
"It's an extraordinary thing in the history of a casino"
"I think she went to celebrate with her loved ones, without knowing what she was going to do with this money," said the casino director, interviewed by France Bleu. The previous record for earnings of this casino dates from 2015, the year when a lot of 27,100 euros fell. Since then, no one had won the jackpot, which had increased over the days to reach a record sum.
When the Marnaise won the jackpot, she received the congratulations of the other players and was offered champagne by the management. "It took her a few seconds before becoming aware of what was going on, she was obviously very happy," says the director of the establishment. It's an extraordinary thing that happens in the history of a casino, it doesn't happen every day. "
