Second gambler wins over $5M at casino

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., June 7 (UPI) -- A New Jersey casino said a gambler won $5.3 million at the craps table only two months after another high roller took home $5.8 million from a blackjack table.

Tony Rodio, who took over as chief executive officer of the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City last week, said the player, whose identity was not released, won most of his Wednesday night fortune in a six-hour hot streak at the craps table, The Press of Atlantic City reported Tuesday.

Rodio said the man also played blackjack and mini-baccarat Wednesday night.

The win comes only two months after gambler Don Johnson took the Tropicana for $5.8 million at the blackjack tables. Rodio said he had never heard of two players winning more than $5 million at the same casino in such a short period of time.
