“Man suffers seizure after winning $4 million at casino. Viral video reveals dramatic collapse”
A 61-year-old man suffered a heart attack at the Marina Bay Sands hotel casino in the United States after winning a $4 million prize. The event occurred when the man, filled with emotion from his incredible victory, collapsed on the casino floor.
A 22-second video that has gone viral on social media shows the man unconscious on the casino carpet, near a baccarat table. In the video, white gambling chips can be seen scattered around him, while a woman, apparently his companion, desperately screams for help.
The incident attracted the attention of other guests and visitors of the casino, who simply stood around the scene watching the events. Some of them even took out their cell phones to record the dramatic moment. While the paramedics arrived, the man was given CPR.
Initially, it was reported on social media that the man had died, but casino industry experts, cited by casino.org, reported that the individual was in the hospital recovering from the incident, thus denying the rumors circulating on the internet.

This is not an isolated case. In 2002, The Sun reported that a player who won a $10,000 jackpot on a slot machine in Atlantic City suffered a fatal heart attack moments after receiving an emergency check. More recently, in April, David A. Jagolinzer suffered a cardiac arrest while playing blackjack in Las Vegas and died six months later. His family questions whether his visit to the casino worsened his health.
