Gambler Collapses on Video After ‘Jackpot,’ Story Gets Stranger as Multiple Conflicting Reports Emerge
A gambler at Marina Bay Sands Casino in Singapore reportedly collapsed after winning a large jackpot, with various media outlets offering conflicting reports about the amount won and the gambler’s fate. Initial reports suggested the man died from cardiac arrest after winning anywhere from $4 million to a much lower sum. However, subsequent updates clarified he did not die but was recovering. Some reports even questioned the very existence of the jackpot. While there is still uncertainty about the exact details, the situation has led to widespread misinformation and distress among the gambler’s family.
Gambler Collapses After Reportedly Hitting Jackpot: Story Takes Unexpected Turn While Media Reports His Death

A gambler collapsed as he reportedly won a jackpot worth millions, but the story gets much stranger from there.
A video of the incident began circulating earlier this week, with wildly different accounts of what happened being put forth.
The one fact these reports do agree on is the fact that the gambler hit the floor at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Casino.
Open Source Intel, an account on the social media platform X, appears to be one of the first videos of the incident uploaded to the wider internet, and has so far gained over five million views in just a couple of days.

Open Source Intel reported the man won a $4 million jackpot, but collapsed from excitement and died. MSN also hosted a report on the death and the winnings.
Sports gambling site SportsCasting reported a slightly different amount, $2.95 million, for the jackpot, but also made the claim that this gambler died.
The UK Daily Star, in a post that has now been wiped from its website, appears to have pegged the alleged winnings at a comparatively paltry £300,000.

Many other sites reported the death and varying jackpot figures.
As the media reported his death, but wavered on the details, the story took a startling turn.
On Tuesday, Casino.org reported that the gambler did not die after the collapse. It gave the alleged amount won as $4 million Singapore dollars, which is $2.95 million in U.S. dollars.
According to this report, the man is currently recovering and will soon be able to spend his massive jackpot.
Casinos.com offered a conflicting report on the same day. While following Casino.org’s assertion that the gambler was not dead, it cited the casino itself in declaring there never was a $4 million jackpot.
“It is understood that no guest died in Marina Bay Sands’ casino after winning $4 million or £300,000,” Marina Bay Sands’ spokesperson reportedly said.
“There was a guest who had fallen unconscious in the casino, but he is alive and in recovery. The guest did not win $4 million or £300,000.”
The spokesperson said the fake news was causing “distress” in the guest’s family.
While nothing can yet be definitively said about this gambler or any alleged winnings, updates will undoubtedly result in a number of corrections.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
