A 60-year-old welder has netted $69,850, following three consecutive victories at WinSpirit Casino.
“I’ve had some fantastic wins. The best ones were $26,550 and $25,300 during the bonus game,” the man shared.
The lucky winner, who decided to remain anonymous, caught luck by the tail in the Diamonds Power: Hold & Win slot.
“When I play, I follow a strategy. I start with bets of $5-10 and increase them after a few wins,” he said.
Following a string of consecutive wins, the man reached a $50 bet, which ultimately led to his coveted winnings.
“$50 spins go through my finds quickly, but if you get the bonus, the payoff is unbelievable,” the man added.
Diamonds Power: Hold & Win is a 3×3 slot by Playson featuring four fixed jackpots and a unique Hold & Win feature. The game offers a maximum win of 5,150 times the initial bet per round.
To celebrate his success, the man decided to dine at a local casino restaurant with his wife, with whom he had shared 27 years of marriage
“During dinner, we came up with the idea to test my winning strategy again, so we opened the familiar WinSpirit page on my phone,” he laughed.
The fortunate player stumbled upon WinSpirit Casino accidentally while searching for an online platform to enjoy slot games.
“During my search, I tried a few online casinos. But WinSpirit stood out for its ease of use and quick verification process,” he said.
The casino offers its new players a 100% bonus up to 200 USD+ 100 Free Spins and a 200% bonus up to 200 USD on their first and second deposits respectively.
The man also noted that the main reason he plays at the casino is to have fun.
“I play for fun. And big wins… They are like a pleasant bonus that you get while enjoying your pastime.”
The self-employed welder is living a peaceful life, enjoying outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, camping, and motocross biking.
