Man Tries Luck at Gates of Olympus 1000, Wins Before He Takes Off for Ibiza
One Brit was heading out to Ibiza for a jolly good time but he decided to start early and hit the slots while he was waiting

For one UK traveler by the X handle of @OwenHalstead13, things are looking up. The man, who shared a social media post of him winning £24,000 ($32,255) while putting down a £2 ($2.69) spin on Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus 1000.
And, to make things even better, Owen was on his way to his holiday in Ibiza. Waiting for his plane at the airport, the man struck it big, flipping his casual wager into the payout of his life, as the man has not disclosed a bigger win while gambling.
He was playing at the Sky Vegas Casino, and to make things even more epic – the win occurred precisely when Owen was running out of money – he only had £0.52 ($0.70) left on his account, it seemed, when good fortune struck.
While the win can still be subject to manipulation, it’s highly unlikely that anyone would go to such great lengths to fake a win so small. $32,255 may not look like much, but it’s not a bad way to start your vacation!
