On April 31st, 27-year-old Dolton David found himself over a million dollars richer in Las Vegas, all thanks to Blackjack! Yet he wasn't even hoping to gamble in the first place, when interviewers asked what he was even doing in the casino, he said that he just liked the smell of cigarette smoke.
Most people were complimenting his level-headed playstyle and immense ability in the skill-based game. He reported that "[he] cannot understand English very well", so whenever the dealer asked a question, he would just nod his head to "avoid making it awkward."
Our statisticians calculated that the odds of being able to win enough times to gain a million dollars in winnings would actually be pretty low, wild.
When David realized he had won the money, he was hoping to purchase 50% of a fancy yacht. Unfortunately, he soon realized that he was not allowed to keep the money, as what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
