Sky Vegas create another millionaire in North East England

The North East is fast turning into the luckiest region in the UK with three locals becoming millionaires at online casino Sky Vegas.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his week Scott Clydesdale, a builder from Spennymoor in Co. Durham turned £1 (€1.2) into £1.6m (€1.9m) in less than 23 minutes whilst playing the Toy Factory slot game on Sky Vegas.

Clydesdale said: “I’ve not been living up here for long, I’m originally from Lincoln, but I think I made the right decision as this is where all the Sky Vegas winners are from!”

Clydesdale joins an exclusive club including Emma, a nurse from Stockton Tees, who earlier this year won just over £1m (€1.2m) on a 40p spin on the MegaJackpots Cleopatra game. David Robinson of Newcastle is also in the North-East millionaire set having scooped a whopping £2,642,000 (€3,096,348) with a 90p spin on Sky Vegas’ aptly named Millionaires Club online casino game.

With over six million winning spins every day more than £250,000 is won every hour on Sky Vegas.

With a national average salary of £26,500 (€31,040) it would take more than 60 years for the typical person to earn the figure Clydesdale landed in 23 minutes.

Sky Vegas spokesperson Sarah Hackett said: “With over six million winning spins every day more than £250,000 is won every hour on Sky Vegas. But the really big wins have a habit of landing in the North East who are rapidly becoming the luckiest folk in the land.”
