A Swanley cab driver has been left astounded after a dream predicting a big win came true - seeing him rake in almost £90,000 at a Southend casino.
Goksel Selay, aged 53, decided to try his luck on Blackjack Aces at the Genting Club Westcliff on The Western Esplanade, Southend, as it was a quiet night for fares.
He was dealt four aces, winning a jackpot of £89,950.

Mr Selay said: "I could not believe it, it’s the first time in my life I have had such a big win.
"I had had a dream a few days earlier about winning big money and told my wife about it."
The father-of-two, who is originally from Cyprus, plans to spend part of his winnings on the family home, a car for his wife and to put some aside for his teenage children.
Genting Club Westcliff’s general manager, Simon Woodford, added: "It’s the biggest we have had here on this game.
"We’re all so pleased for Goksel who we have got to know over the years."
