Lucky winners casino games
Every once in a while, we hear that another lucky gambler hit amazing winnings. While big wins are not that frequent, wide media coverage and rumors fool us into believing that they take place every day. However, as casino online made gambling available to the masses, wins did become more frequent.
It was not always the case, though. Back in the day, juicy wins used to be very rare. Such stories were surrounded by myths, while lucky players became true heroes in the eyes of other eager gamblers.
Joseph Jagger was lucky enough to become the protagonist in one of such incredible stories. In 1873, he won more than 2 million francs – a huge amount at the time! – over the course of several days. It happened at Beaux-Arts casino in Las Vegas.
As you have probably guessed, his win had nothing to do with luck. Joseph was an ardent lover play roulette. One day, he noticed that some cells were winning more often than others. Joseph decided to back up his bold assumption with facts. He paid several players to note down every winning number. After analyzing the results of several hundreds rounds, Joseph found out that nine cells had won more often that the others.
Without giving it a second thought, Joseph took all the money he had and headed to Beaux-Arts. On the very first day, he won half a million francs. It needs to be said that casino employees suspected Joseph of unfair play. However, they had zero evidence and could do nothing to stop the reckless gambler. The next day Joseph came back and hit another huge payout.
Of course, Joseph needed a specific roulette wheel to break the bank. On his third day, he had a couple of losses while looking for the right wheel. In three days, Joseph won a whopping three and a half million francs.
The most curious thing is that Joseph Jagger never returned to the casino after his mind-blowing wins.
As it turned out later, the “lucky” roulette wheel has a slight slope invisible to the eye. Joseph took advantage of the defect to make history and become a true legend of the gambling world.
