I watched the video and I was impressed with the way he first went to perform salat the moment he realized the last game went as he predicted. What I have understood with gambling and religion by African countries is different from the way Arabs that spread the religion to them. Despite when Islam forbid gambling, they do their thing and used the money to take care of their self and personally, I don’t see why it is forbidden because I don’t view as if they are taking someone’s money. It’s a condition that must be met with a risk and once it is met, you will take your money freely but what do I know. I’m happy for that boy, this kind of win games are actually rare and I hope he use the money for good.
Well I'm not really judging anyone. After all everyone is free but on islam gambling is forbiden with all its games and ways small amount or big amount and wather you did salat or not in fact you will get more judges if you do it in name of allah. Because that's will be lying and trying to cover that. At the same time we can't lie to ourselves that gambling has more bad things than good things.

You can justify his actions, after all we all have sin in one way or the other which is even subjective to religion and individual but personally, I feel this is better than stealing and the player making salat is just his ways of appreciating God for a successful winning even when he knows that gambling is haram. Either ways, he is a millionaire in Naira and if properly invest the money, he will be living more of standard life.

First most of people are losing their money. Gambling is so harmful in many ways that destroys good people and lead to addiction. Destroys families after wasting much money on it and can lead to other serious issues like alchol and drugs. You may say it's just for some people i will say we are all just taking a risk.

You are very funny, you know right!
Gambling takes and give and nobody force you to play, it’s for entertainment and not an avenue to make riches but if you are lucky, you may become one and if you prioritize rich as aim in gambling, you will lose all you have, nobody is forcing it on anyone and nobody force you to register.
