Highlights

• Alain confided that it took him a little while to understand what was going on and come to the realization that he’d snagged $153,383 playing his favourite game, Cashdrop. He especially loves the game for the graphics, which really give you the impression that you’re playing a slot machine. “It’s quite simple—if you were to remove this game from the site, you’d lose me as a customer!” Alain laughed.
