Funny experiences of people who like to gamble

Everyone has had funny incidents in their lives. Today, I will tell you about funny cases related to casinos and gambling. They happened in different parts of the world. They are united by absurdity, which is quite funny.

7. The priest who liked games

It is well known that the Church is a fierce opponent of games of chance. But this does not prevent exceptions to the general rule at all. Thus there was a priest in Chicago by the name of Michael Stemfield. He suffered from an incredible attraction to gambling. This priest spent a lot of time in casinos from a young age. For a long time he did not gamble, but then he snapped again. This happened in 2011.

It is only natural that the priest did not want anyone to know about his breakdown. The curiosity was that he managed to win $10,000. This fact caused quite a natural interest in the press. A real scandal broke out on the World Wide Web and in the media. It is known that the priest got into the gambling hall using identification belonging to someone else. This added fuel to the fire.

After the incident the priest had to leave the city where he was a priest and also change his area of work.

6. The priest who was a player

Andrew Trapp, who was a priest, took part in a broadcast. He was required to play a game of poker. As there was no betting involved, the priest had the approval of the church. He was even blessed by the bishop himself. This priest managed to beat Daniel Negrean, who was the best player in the world, to win $100,000. The priest gave that sum to have the temple built.

5. Failure of the nimble Chinese

A couple of Chinese have been active in a casino in New Zealand for some time. They had an agreement with the dealer. He would allow them to make bets after the ball hit a certain number. In return, they had to give him half the money they won.

Unfortunately, this ruse was spotted by security. The girl had to pay a fine. The dealer and the guy went to jail.

4. Hunger strike

There was a really strange case in Romania. Its author is Ioan Zeututut. He was forcibly kicked out of the casino for his over-impulsive reaction to losing money. He was swearing and cursing. Zeututut decided to go on hunger strike until a decision was made to let him back into the casino. At the same time, John stayed on the porch throughout the hunger strike and did not allow medics to come near him. He even called his action a “Roulette hunger strike”.

3. The cost of the mistake is a million dollars

A catastrophic coincidence occurred at a casino in Ohio. Its employees paid a million dollars to the completely wrong person to win it. This happened due to the fact that the people in question were the same namesake, as well as the same age. The court ruled that the casino had no evil intent.

2. A lot of money for a man tripping

An American woman, Ellis Sowson, managed to sue a gambling house for 700,000 dollars. The reason for the lawsuit was that she had tripped in the casino. Lawyers convinced the court that their client was absolutely right. The case went on for a long time. The casino, naturally, did not agree with this state of affairs. But the American woman managed to win her lawsuit.

1. The senator who liked to play poker

John McCain, who is a US senator, made a rather unfortunate mistake right in the middle of the meeting. There was a discussion about the difficult situation in Syria. The senator wanted to distract himself, so he decided to relax a bit and play poker on his phone. However, he completely forgot that there were many journalists around.
They caught the whole thing on camera. This information has been made public. A scandal broke out on the World Wide Web. The senator made every attempt to smooth it over. He wanted to turn it into a joke. But he didn’t succeed.

These are the kinds of funny and bizarre situations people around the world have gotten into. Some have gotten rich, some have been imprisoned, some have become notorious.
