Michael Smith bidding to cash in on world champion status after hitting jackpot in Vegas

Michael Smith hit the jackpot again on holiday in Las Vegas – and now he wants to cash in on being world champion.

‌After counting his chips from a profitable break in Sin City, 'Bully Boy' resolved to clean up on the oche, saying: “You know when your luck's in – and it's been a good six months for me since I won the Grand Slam.”

‌And Smith has already settled on one long-term ambition: To win more world titles than his old mentor Gary Anderson. In the week when two-time world champion Adrian Lewis - who earned his 'Jackpot' soubriquet from a $72,000 win on the one-armed bandits in Vegas - announced he was taking a break from darts, Smith revealed how his planned blow-out on the Strip turned into a fistful of dollars.
