Winner plans to use proceeds to buy a house with fiancé

What was supposed to be a quiet summer night lounging in the backyard turned into something else entirely for a Kitchener, Ont., man, striking it big with an online casino $400,000 win on a single spin.

Canadian Gaming: Mega Win

The man, Nathan Adams was playing Fire Stampede slot game on Betty, one of Ontario’s licensed online casinos.

Fire Stampede takes place on the dusty desert plains, with symbols that include cacti, eagles and gold nuggets, with the player needing to make winning combinations from left to right upon a 5×5 grid to award a win.

A special sixth reel and marked spots on the grid can deliver wilds, cash prices, re-spins and free spins.

The grand jackpot can hit randomly on any spin.

I was in complete shock,” said Adams, describing the moment he realized he’d won big.

New House?

The recreational gamer already knows how he’ll use his newfound winnings: he plans to purchase a home with his fiancé.

Adams also got to access his winnings fast, something Betty CEO Chavdar Dimitrov says is a difference-maker in a market as competitive as Ontario.

We’re beyond excited for Nathan,” said Dimitrov. “At Betty, we pride ourselves on making big wins accessible by processing withdrawals instantly. Nathan already enjoys the payout in his bank account.”

The company went live in Ontario’s regulated igaming market in February 2023.
