Stinky gambler fuming over NJ casino ejection
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Yes, Michael Wax stank. He's the first to admit it. The 440-pound New York City man said he was playing poker in an Atlantic City casino for 17 hours Tuesday and didn't have time to clean up. He understands why grossed-out gamblers complained about his body odor, but said he didn't deserve stinky treatment from the casino that asked him to leave.
Dave Coskey, a spokesman for the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, said it is company policy not to comment on matters involving customers.
Wax said he told casino officials: "There's no question I stink. I'm not denying it. I do have an odor. I've been playing for 17 hours."
The 54-year-old limousine company owner, who says he is a frequent gambler at the Borgata, said a poker room manager followed him into the restroom and informed him that patrons at his table were complaining about his body odor.
When the Brooklyn man tried to retake his seat at the table, he said a manager told him to leave. He said he asked for a free room to freshen up, and the casino refused.
He promptly filed a complaint about his treatment with the Casino Control Commission. His complaint will be reviewed to determine whether any state gambling laws or regulations were violated, a commission spokesman said Wednesday.
Wax said his instincts tell him to find a different casino to patronize, but he likes gambling at the Borgata. He said the casino was out of line to tell him he stinks in front of other patrons.
"I would like an apology," Wax said

Re: Stinky gambler fuming over NJ casino ejection
How about he apologize for his offensive odor? gross
seriously 17 hours straight--and who knows when was the last time he showered before that? i swear people can be so filthy sometimes...its called PERSONAL HYGIENE.
its sad that i know some gamblers will wear diapers and stuff so they can pee and poop in case they have a big winning streak happening and they don't want to get up.

Re: Stinky gambler fuming over NJ casino ejection
I would think that the problems of a man who gambles for 17 straight hours at a time don't end with body odor.
