"The Man Who Beat The Whammies" would suffice.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

If somebody actually read the article: did it unearth anything new or is it a rehash of what's known?

Total rehash.

I always wondered if he got that first whammy on purpose. It could be that perhaps the lights were flashing faster than he thought, and there is still some skill hitting the button as the square lights up. He knew that trying to run away with all the money wasn't necessary in the first round, it was far more efficient to do that in the second round, and also the highest money amounts did not award an extra spin in the first round.

Whammy on purpose indeed.

Because I have to know what follows up that evacuation of mental bowels:

What does he gain from doing this instead of winning, erm, anything?
