This is a golden age for the bank balance of professional darts player - with prize money soaring and thousands of spectators packing into arenas most weeks to enjoy the sport (and a couple of beers).
This year the winner of the World Darts Championship will win a jaw-dropping £1 million, dwarfing the entire career earnings of players back in the days of household names like Eric Bristow and Kirkcaldy-born Jocky Wilson.
Last year saw Luke Humphries come close to becoming the first player to win more than £2 million in a single season, while prodigy Luke Littler is already a millionaire despite having only played professionally for less than two years.
This week saw 18-year-old Littler become the youngest ever world number one after winning the Grand Slam of Darts - beating rival Humphries in the final.
