A poker player in an Australian casino consumed
The Star City Casino, located in Sydney, Australia, is a casino location that is now in trouble with the authorities after serving the huge number of 42 beers to a customer who was participating in a lengthy poker gaming session.
A fine in the amount of $10,000 was issued to the Star City Casino, as casinos are not permitted to offer gambling opportunities to a person that is intoxicated. It appears that this person drank 42 beers during 17 hours at the poker tables. Five beers were requested every two hours during this man’s gaming session that lasted until 7 o’clock in the morning on New Year’s Day. However, members of staff at the casino claimed in their defense that the man did not appear to be drunk. Apparently, it was also claimed by the casino that as the poker game involves a certain amount of bluffing and maintaining a facade, any signs of intoxication on the part of the player seemingly went by unnoticed.
It is reported that the fine itself has apparently since been reduced, taking into consideration the casino’s past record with regards to clients that have had too much to drink. Due to the severity in nature of this incident, members of the casino staff that were in contact with the player concerned have either been fired from their jobs or relegated to a lower ranking position.
