A businessman based in the Malawi’s commercial city of Blantyre James Alidi has won K163 million in Betway Malawi’s aviator game.
Speaking in an interview with journalists on Monday after receiving a cheque, Alidi said he deposited K150 000 into his Betway account and made an initial stake of K2 400 before raising it to K10 000 and K50 000 for a double run as his wins multiplied.
“I love playing the game during my free time but, this time around, I was determined to win so much. I am happy that my dream has come true,” he said.
In his remarks,Betway Malawi Marketing Coordinator Lauren Donga said they love to see their customers winning big as that helps to transform the winner’s life.
“We also encourage our customers to play Aviator and other online games such as the newly-launched Fly X,” Donga said.
The aviator is an online gambling game where players bet on the outcome of a virtual plane’s flight.
Users wager on whether the plane will crash before reaching a certain multiplier or if it will safely reach the designated target multiplier, with payouts determined by the chosen multiplier and outcome.
