Closest I saw was an old Liverpool player Traore with his own private table. He was playing with ponies and had stacks of them. Must have been about 5ks worth although hard to tell.

My mate who's full of it reckons he saw Bruce WIllis in Vegas on a table but he's always saying stuff like that.

Barbara Windsor once did a promotional stunt in the Nobles arcade on Birmingham New Street - she punted a Bar X for a fiver before giving lucky old me a tenners worth of promotional tokens - neither of us won.
Seeing as the local rags were there covering it you'd have thought they'd at least rig a couple of wins.
