ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—Yes, Michael Wax stunk. 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. 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." 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

This guy is from the Bronx?  I have a hard time believing that.  Anyway rule #1 of weighing 440 pounds is don’t go 17 hours without showering or having somebody hose you down.   The Casino was totally within their rights to give this guy the boot.  If he wanted to play so bad he should have gotten his own room and cleaned himself up.  But don’t say you were discriminated against because you have BO.    The bigger question is how did this guy even fit into the chair to begin with?  I’m calling bullshit on him weighing 440 lbs.  I mean that’s fucking huge!   Something stinks to high heaven with this story.  (pun intended)

PS – While we’re on the subject of Casino rights I’ve never understood why they can kick out legit card counters.   It makes no sense to me on any level.    There is nothing illegal about it.    It doesn’t seem like you should be able to penalize people for being smart.   I mean they don’t kick out the idiots who hit on 16 vs. a 6.
