On a day when the novel coronavirus has brought the sports world to a standstill, Kenyan punter Ketan Kumar has something to smile about. He has won a staggering Ksh1,632,355 in Betway Casino European Roulette.
European Roulette is a popular casino game where players bet on the numbered pocket where the Roulette ball will land out of 37 divisions.
With the COVID-19 pandemic having a devastating impact on the economy, Kumar's win comes as a welcome relief to many who are struggling to make ends meet.
"Getting something back is always great, but winning such a big amount is extremely exciting," Kumar said in an interview. "I'm very happy about this win. I enjoy playing casino games and 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," he added.
Betway offers a wide range of casino games, including Slots, Tables, Video Poker, Variety, and Progressives. The platform has already seen a Progressive Jackpot winner and currently has Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah ongoing, which has hit a record KSh 781 Million globally and is up for grabs.
