A 33-year old British player scored the biggest winning ever, taking home £866,000 from a mere £6 bet playing at William Hill Mobile Casino on his mobile.

The player, who chose to remain anonymous, is a 33-year old player from Wakefield, UK, who happened to run across different video slots and accumulated various winnings in between within a couple of days, and the biggest hit came finally by one single spin of just £6 bet playing Cop-The-Lot video slot.

The winner commented after realizing he had scored a major jackpot:

I had to turn my phone off and then turn it back on again because I thought there had been a malfunction. I just could not believe it. I cannot explain how I felt as I just went numb.

When asked about what he’d do with the winnings, he was still shocked by the amount won, but quickly responded: I have never been to another country, and there are so many places I would love to go. I want to take my family around the world although first, I want to go to Tokyo and New Zealand.

Mobile winnings on the rise

William Hill Mobile has started giving away various cash prizes during this year, and most of them are way over £ 50,000, making it one of the most profitable sites for punters on the net.

Joe Crilly from William Hill commented: This is our biggest ever mobile payout and is probably the biggest win in the history of mobile gaming. There is no doubt that we will see our very first mobile millionaire soon.

The UK leading the mobile betting trend

The latest data released by Onavo ranking systems for market domination among mobile sports betting apps, shows that William Hill is dominating the mobile industry betting apps with a 32% market share of the entire betting platform in the UK, followed by Paddy Power and Betfair, among others.

These statistics don’t include punters who choose to play from their smartphones using the HTML5 coding by just logging in to William Hill Online, which, by the way, is surpassing the app downloads.
