Casinos have become increasingly popular in many parts of the world, so it’s no surprise that a lot more people are using them. While most gamblers simply go there to relax, there is a group of people who take gambling way more seriously.
These kinds of people often find themselves in very interesting situations, especially if they lose a large amount of money. Some are so focused that they often do weird things you can’t find elsewhere. There are many stories about these kinds of things, so let’s look at some of the most popular ones.
Trying to Eat Money After Losing
Everyone who decides to visit a land-based casino or use an online operator should know that gambling is very risky. It is possible to lose everything, no matter how good you are. Sadly, it seems like not everyone is prepared for this situation, especially a gentleman in Kenya.
There was a report from a couple of years ago about a person who went to a casino in Nairobi. While there, the gentleman played roulette and decided to wager on most numbers. Unfortunately, things did not go well, and he lost the bet.
A few seconds after the loss, he grabbed the money he had wagered and started running. Fortunately for the casino, the security guard was nearby, and he quickly intercepted the player.
Realizing that he couldn’t do much, the player decided to eat the money in an attempt to save it. Needless to say, the guard tackled him until the player spit the amount. How crazy is that?
Aggressive Nature
The next story is from a casino in Romania, and it comes from a dealer who worked there. According to the person, a guy who was almost 7 feet tall entered the casino, and after signing in, the dealer noticed that there was a yellow tick close to his name. It seems like the casino used this color to “mark” its high rollers and/or cheaters, but the dealer couldn’t tell which category this player falls into.
The gambler started using large amounts of money right away, and as expected, he accumulated several losses. This caused him to become aggressive and threaten the dealer. A few minutes after that, the person tried to relax, and the staff member moved him to another table, where he got several wins in a row.
Just when he became relaxed, the dealer of the given table had to go, and this was when the player started losing again. After losing several rounds in a row, the gambler actually ripped off the top of the roulette table and threatened to kill everyone in the room. Needless to say, the staff and everyone in the casino then started panicking and running away.
The good news is that no one got hurt because the security was able to deal with the player. You probably think that he was kicked out and banned, but this was not the case. In fact, the gambler eventually found his way back to the casino, and he assured the dealer that he was not a bad person. It seems like he becomes too aggressive after losing large amounts of money.
Missing Out On the Big Prize
Jackpots are one of those things that attract gamblers, especially when they want to make the highest profits. Unfortunately, winning the jackpot is not easy, no matter your experience and what games you are playing.
Speaking of games, this story involved Three Card Poker, a game where the prizes are normally not as high as in other poker variations. The table in the specific casino came with a reward of $21,000, and one player was intrigued by it.
According to the dealer who worked at the table, this was one of those people who played the entire day. The guy never moved away from his table and kept playing no matter what.
With that said, things changed because after losing a couple of rounds in a row, the person decided to go for a smoke. Once he got up from the table, the lady who was also playing won the jackpot on the next hand. As you can imagine, this was shocking, to say the least.
You probably expected the person to react in some way, but this was not the case. Instead, the player simply got his clothes and left the casino without saying a word.
The next morning, the croupier in that given game learned that the person got into his car and drove through his bank, breaking the windows and everything there. Needless to say, this resulted in his arrest.
A Man Fell Down, But No One Cared
Another interesting story we came across is from another brick-and-mortar casino. The story was presented by one of the dealers who worked there, who was in charge of the blackjack table.
According to the person, the story took place at around 5 AM when there were 3 people at the given blackjack table. One of them was a man in his thirties who was completely sober, but he kept losing. It seems like his total losses were close to $2000, but he kept playing regardless.
After losing his money for a few more minutes, the person suddenly became aggressive and tried to punch the dealer. Thankfully, the person missed and smashed his chips instead, after which he fell to the ground.
The dealer claims that the person probably had a stroke, but the most insane part is that the other two players at the given table did not care at all. Instead of trying to help him or stop the brawl, they wanted the dealer to keep playing. This probably sounds scary, but some gamblers seem so caught up that they do not care about anything else.
Just when you thought that it couldn’t get more interesting, something shocking happened. Around 45 minutes after the incident, the same guy who fell off his chair and looked like he was having a stroke was back. What’s even more insane is that he was playing with an oxygen tank. This just proves that gambling can have
