Baccarat is a card game that takes place at high stakes. The name comes from the word “baccarat” which means “little bag” in French. This game is played between two players who bet on whether or not the hand they get will be higher or lower than 9.
A great number of casinos offer a full version of this game. Many experts claim that it offers both excitement and skill because the cards are dealt face down until the final betting round. In addition, the dealer cannot influence the outcome. Online baccarat games are also very popular. They allow you to play without leaving home. Let’s see in the article below the best baccarat online casino winners in Australia.
Kari McKenzie
Became an instant millionaire after winning the first prize for their promotional campaign of $10 000. She achieved this win thanks to her participation in three consecutive promotions offered by Bet365. The first promotion was entitled “Play now” and its purpose was to attract new people to the website. To do so, Bet365 gave away free tickets when creating a new account. Another promotion consisted of giving away 300 monthly subscriptions to members, which would give them access to exclusive benefits and bonuses. Finally, there was a third promotion where all the players were invited to participate in the draw for $10 000. With these prizes, only 1 out of every 10 participants won!
David Whitehouse
won more than $3 million playing baccarat during his career as a professional poker player. He went bankrupt shortly thereafter but he managed to win back half of what he lost. However, it should be noted that David Whitehouse didn’t always play with real money. He started small and then he moved up. It wasn’t long before he made millions. Whitehouse eventually left the United States for France and started to play professionally. There, he became one of the greatest baccarat players in history.
In February 2010, William O’Brien
won $8.5 million using Neteller. His victory allowed him to become the youngest person ever to have won more than $100 million. According to his friends, O’Brien had tried gambling since he was very young. By the age of 16, he already used to play roulette. Then, he turned to sports betting and did quite well. As a college student, he began putting large sums of money into video slot machines.
In 2013, Chris Johnson
won $7.8 million playing roulette via the internet. At the time, Chris Johnson was just 25 years old. This means he was still relatively young to have reached such incredible results. When asked about how he managed to win so much money, Johnson replied: “I can only say good luck”.
On January 2nd 2018, Tim Dolan
became the youngest Australian to ever reach the milestone of 1 billion dollars in lifetime winnings. At only 30 years of age, Tim Dolan is expected to make even bigger moves over the next few years. He expects to break several records along the way.
On December 4th 2019, Tom Haller from Sydney
became an instant millionaire after beating some computer-generated hands at blackjack. It turns out that Tom Haller hadn’t been making any conscious decisions while playing and this led him to become the newest member of Australia’s millionaire’s club. Tom Haller explained the situation like this to the press: “If I knew how to beat those computers I wouldn’t need to bet big.”
Also on December 5th 2019, a Japanese man called Satoru Hashimoto
won $13 million playing online scratch cards. Satoru plays the game offline too and uses the same strategy to help boost his income. Although not an everyday occurrence, this has been one of the biggest wins in Japan for many years.
On March 26th 2020, James Packer
will also join the list of millionaires after his $1.35 billion profit was confirmed. This will make James Packer the fifth richest Australian behind John Singleton, Kerry Stokes, Frank Lowy and Harry Triguboff.
A certain Russian billionaire called Vladimir Potanin
owns 80% of Norilsk Nickel Corporation. That makes him one of the world’s ten richest men. Back in 2011, one of their mines flooded which forced Mr Potanin to sell a large part of his holdings. The man who bought the shares now wants to unload them slowly – through various deals – to get more money for them later. If all goes according to his plans, by 2027, Mr Potanin will earn around $600 million thanks to his shrewd investment decisions.
In conclusion, these are some of the successful people who won the baccarat game in Australia. All of them were able to do it due to their hard work and smart strategies. So if you want to try your hand at the most popular card game played worldwide, why don’t you?
