Irate gambler pays price for smashing gaming machine 

Accused, who believed he had won €50, ends up paying €150 compensation to casino

The accused bought compensation into court for the casino.

A gambler who believed he had won €50 on a casino’s roulette wheel gaming machine became angry when the screen froze and paid out nothing — and smashed the screen.

His reaction to the incident ended up costing him €150 in compensation and the judge warned it will also mean three months in jail if he gets into further trouble over the next two years.
