Danish player ‘Sture’, enjoyed a great start to the year this week when he conquered the Rags to Riches progressive slot at Intercasino.com with Viking-like celerity after just $21 of play.

Sture, a 38 year-old from Denmark, was playing early Wednesday morning after his girlfriend left for work. He planned on playing through around $20 and then calling it quits; but luckily for him, he hung in for an extra spin and on the twenty-first dollar hit the jackpot for a hair-raising US $198,292.

Sture has been a player at InterCasino for about six months, and has always liked to play slots and in particular European Roulette – just a little Roulette, five dollars on black or red once in a while - but Roulette has never paid out to the tune of $198,292! for Sture.

Sture isn’t what most casinos consider a high roller - he bets for entertainment and makes each bet last. In fact, he has only wagered about two thousand dollars since joining the casino, and by his accounting he was already up one thousand before hitting his personal big-time.

“I knew I could win a jackpot but I never expected to. Of course, each spin I make, I want to win it – and this time I did. I was stunned, I just sat in front of my computer for a minute or two without moving or saying anything,” confesses Sture.

What will the lucky Dane be doing with his winnings? “I don’t plan any big changes in my life. I will invest most of the money that I’ve won, but I think I’ll be taking some of it to buy a new black and chrome Harley Davidson this coming summer."
