On May 14, 2020, the world was grappling with the novel coronavirus, which had brought the sports world to a standstill. Amidst the chaos, Kenyan punter Ketan Kumar had something to smile about after winning a massive Ksh1,632,355 in Betway Casino European Roulette.
European Roulette is a casino game where players predict which numbered pocket the Roulette ball will land in, out of 37 divisions. To achieve this, players make bets on a particular number, and the dealer turns the Roulette wheel in one direction while spinning the ball in the opposite.
For Kumar, the win came at a time when many people were struggling to make ends meet financially due to the economic impact of COVID-19. In an interview, Kumar expressed his excitement about the win, saying, "Getting something back is always great, but winning such a big amount is extremely exciting. I’m very happy about this win. I enjoy playing Casino games and I was especially drawn to the Roulette table on Betway’s Casino platform. Betway has continued to offer us, casino fans, an amazing variety of games to keep us entertained which, in turn, have resulted in great winnings such as mine."
Betway offers a range of casino games, including Slots, Tables, Video Poker, Variety, and Progressives. The platform has seen significant wins, including a Progressive Jackpot winner and the ongoing Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah, which has already reached a record KSh 781 Million globally.
