Music video
The music video is filmed on a simple DV-camera by the director Adam Berg (brother of lead singer Joakim Berg). It features guitarist Harri Mänty as he travels to Las Vegas to gamble the entire video budget of 300,000 kronor (roughly 50,000 USD) on the roulette. He puts the money on black, and wins. In the end of the video he rides away in a limousine, cheering and sipping champagne.
Afterwards, the profits were donated to Barncancerfonden, a fund for children with cancer.[https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/musik/a/jPQa3e/kent-vann-pa-roulett--skanker-vinsten-till-sjuka-barn Kent vann på roulett – skänker vinsten till sjuka barn]
