Appropriate Action?

The Borgata land casino is facing some controversy after the manager of the facility asked a patron to leave the poker tables because of his body odor. Fortunately for online casino gamblers this is just something that you never dream of encountering while gambling from your home. But while at the public casinos it is an entirely different matter and apparently a matter that is serious enough to cause the facility’s manager to get involved in finding an appropriate solution – after all, there is no delicate way to tell a person that they need to leave the poker tables because of the personal hygiene.

The situation occurred in Atlantic City at the Borgata – a well established gambling casino with no history of such occurrences. According Michael Wax, the individual in question in the situation, he was asked to leave the poker tables while in front of other patrons. Wax is 440 pounds and a limo driver who had been playing at the Borgata poker tables for 17 straight hours – only getting up to use the bathrooms when necessary. In the online casino gambling and poker issues, once again, you encounter few of these issues, but at land gambling venues 17 hours sitting in one spot is a bit intense.

The manager of the Borgata apparently approached Wax first in the bathrooms to address the issue of his personal hygiene – ie his very strong body odor, but when the issue continued unaddressed from Wax the manager approached Wax at the tables and asked him to leave. Wax noted though that he was fully aware that he had some personal hygiene issues, he even commented to the manager at the time, "There's no question I stink. I'm not denying it. I do have an odor. I've been playing for 17 hours.”

Max is seeking a formal apology from the Borgata casino and has officially complained to the Gambling Commission.
