Hygiene Issues For Borgata Poker Player?
August 1, 2008
In one of the funnier stories of the week, a local poker player who frequented the Borgata Casino was kicked to the curb for his offensive body odor!
Michael Wax, a regular at the Borgata for a few years now, was approached by the casino room manager after multiple complaints had been presented to management’s attention. The 400+ pound Wax was asked to leave the property to clean up - and was even offered a free room to help “freshen himself” so he could come back to playing with his table mates.
The “B.O.’d” customer - who in turn became rightfully “P.O.’d” after being publicly embarrassed in front of his fellow players, as well as other casino employees - filed a complaint with the Casino Control Commission shortly after his dismissal.
It will be interesting to see what the Commission rules after this incident.
In all honesty Michael, couldn’t you just have taken the comped room and gotten back to your game in a more professional manner? After a 17-hour session, it was more than thoughtful of management to help you out with you personal hygiene - what will we hear of next in the casino world?
