A California man who lost $500,000 at blackjack and pai gow is suing a new Las Vegas casino, alleging he was too drunk to be allowed to gamble over a 17-hour period just before Super Bowl weekend.
"This is about you almost killing me," Johnston said. "What if I had gone to bed that night, with all those drinks in me, and I threw up on myself and I choked and died?"
Looks like he doesn't have the most essential skill you need as a gambler: knowing when to stop. Bundled with no control of his drinking habits, that's a bad combo. Hopefully the judge tosses out the suit and tells him to work on his alcohol problem; it's not like someone forced him to drink. So the results are his problem. Just try to tell a cop that it's not your fault that you're driving while drunk, but the bar is to blame because they let you use your car.
