Slot Machine Dumb Luck Pays the Fine

Well, how lucky for you that you could pay the fine that you were unlucky enough to get busted on. Or something like that. Associated Press found a gambler in Germany who had an arrest warrant out for him. He was looking at 71 days in jail...unless he could pay a $910 fine. Police found him at a slot machine and were just about to haul him away when---not making this up---the machine he was on started flashing and ringing and doing the nutty things slot machines do (even when the jackpot's only a few bucks). But this one hit for $1270 bucks! Guy pays the fine on the spot in cash and presumably kept on playing.

Well, off to the casino. House payment's due.  DB
