The gambler from Finland, Klaus E was really shocked at his winning over $5 million for a tiny bet he had placed on BlackJackBallroom. In fact, he had thought that the string of numbers that he saw on his screen was actually a telephone number.

Klaus had bet just $0.50 on a slots machine in BlackJackBallroom when he saw the reels of the machine align to form the number $5,556,753. This number dominated his screen, and he had actually thought that the number was a United States landline.

The shocked gambler had actually thought that the number was a US phone number, and could not be the jackpot money. Thinking that he was mistaken, he had gone outside to get some fresh air, and returned to find $5.5 million deposited in his casino account!

This win is the largest recorded in online casino history; and the reason for Klaus jetting to Australia to collect his cheque. On reaching Sydney, the CasinoRewards team had taken him to the wildlife park, aquarium and to a restaurant by the Opera House.

Klaus intends to invest his winnings, and says that besides collecting his enormous cheque, his photo with a koala were the highlights of the trip.
