The craziest casino story is that of Chris Boyd. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. Most casinos refused him. The last casino he visited was Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum bet available was 0,000, but the casino let him make a 0,000 bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris chose to place his bet on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.
