Panic ensued at a casino in Singapore after a man suffered a heart attack while celebrating his £3.2 million (Rs 33,76,45,600) jackpot. According to news.com.au, the incident happened at the Marina Bay Sands Casino in Singapore on June 22. The unidentified man, a regular visitor to the casino, was overjoyed after winning the life-changing sum. While celebrating and punching the air in pure joy, he suddenly fell to the ground and went into cardiac arrest.
When he collapsed, horrified onlookers gathered around him as staff rushed to help him. A woman accompanying the man became increasingly worried and was heard pleading with staff as they tried to administer medical assistance. He was quickly rushed to the hospital, where he is recovering from cardiac arrest.
Meanwhile, many reports on social media have suggested that the man has died, however, industry sources said that the man is alive and still recovering in hospital.
A casino spokesperson condemned the fake news, highlighting the anguish it caused the man’s family. “Unfortunately, fake news has spread and the video still circulating online is causing some distress to the guest’s family,” he said. Some sources also disputed the amount the bettor won, however, there is still no official clarification on this.
The casino is owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands, a Nevada-based company that had revenue of $10.4 billion last year.
In a similar incident in 2021, a man in Michigan, USA, was found dead on a beach with the winning ticket in his pocket. A similar unfortunate incident happened in the US in April after a man suffered a cardiac arrest while sitting at a blackjack table in Las Vegas.
