Millionaire Overnight!

Mr Louis Madeleine is one lucky man. On Tuesday 25th  March 2022, at around 6pm Mr. Madeleine was relaxing with a beer at Gran Kaz in Victoria and decided to try his hand at the machines. Not a regular player, Mr. Madeleine didn’t think for a minute that he would be walking away later that night a millionaire.

“I rarely ever play the machines. I like to come to Gran Kaz for the atmosphere and to have a quiet drink sometimes, but I’ve never really been much of a player. That night I decided to play a little just for fun and see what happened. I thought maybe perhaps I’d win a few hundred rupees, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would win a Million.” Mr. Madeleine recalls.

This is in fact the first ever million won on slot machines in the history of Gran Kaz, and of Seychelles as far as we know. 

“Since we’ve been open, this is the first million won on slots at our venues. Usually people walk away with jackpots varying from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand. In fact our biggest win before this one was SCR 821,039. Mr. Madeleine truly is a lucky man” say Ms. Amesbury, PR and Communications Manager at Gran Kaz.

At a small handover ceremony at Gran Kaz on Monday 28th March, Mr. Madeleine thanked the Gran Kaz staff, saying it’s the wonderful service he always receives that kept him coming back, so in a way, the staff were part of the reason he won.

“I’m always treated well at Gran Kaz. Staff are polite, efficient and extremely warm and friendly, which is why it is my preferred place to come and relax. If it wasn’t for such great service perhaps I wouldn’t keep coming back, and then I never would have won.”

We asked Ms. Amesbury if there was any secret formula to winning big like Mr. Madeleine and she had this to say

“It’s a game of chance, there is no secret formula. Either you are lucky or you are not, which is why gaming is and should always remain a recreational activity, of course when you play you always hope to win something, but trying to play as a source of income is something we discourage.”

Gran Kaz puts a lot of emphasis on responsible gaming. “Know your limit, play within it!” is their tagline, and they remind all patrons to play only for fun and always be mindful of the amount of time and money they spend when in the Casino.

Mr. Madeleine walked away with SCR 1,091,113.00 and a smile on his face!
