Paul Wins A
Holiday As A Chip Millionaire
A
Rugby clubber is jetting away on holiday after scooping top prize in a
casino competition in a nightclub in the town.
Gas
Street Nightclub held five fun 'Casino Royale' evenings in July with
revellers being given £10,000 of tokens when they entered the venue.
PAUL JONES AND
DARREN SMITH CELEBRATE THE WIN
Club-goers
were able to play roulette, black jack and other games to try and
increase their stake and make the most money.
One
canny gambler turned his £10,000 into nearly two and half million
'Gas Street' chips to win himself a trip away and a year's VIP status
at the nightspot.
Paul
Jones of Shuckburgh Crescent admitted that he never gambled properly
and had only taken to the tables as a break from dancing.
He
said:
"The
casino nights added an extra bit of fun to the normal dancing and
socialising, but I certainly didn't expect to win when I started.
"I
realised after a while that I was doing well, which was quite
surprising because I had expected to lose the stake Gas Street had
given me in about two minutes.
"The
holiday voucher is fantastic and I would love to say I am planning
to use it for a trip to Vegas to win some real money - but I may not
be so brave on the tables with my own cash!"
Gas
Street manager Darren Smith revealed that 'Casino Royale' could make a
return to the club after going down a storm with customers.
He
said:
"It
was always intended as a fun event and that was exactly how it was
taken, people were pleased to be able to play on the tables with
somebody else's money!
"Paul
did superbly to amass the amount of chips he did, and we were
delighted to give him the holiday voucher and VIP membership."
