Slot Machine Saves German Gambler As Police Arrive
Associated Press - September 25, 2014
A gambler in Germany has been saved from prison by a one-armed bandit.
Police said Thursday that two officers carrying out routine checks at an arcade in the western city of Bochum late last week discovered that a man playing a slot machine faced an arrest warrant.
He had been ordered to pay a $910 fine or go to prison for 71 days after resisting police during a previous incident.
Police say that as officers informed the man that he faced arrest, the slot machine started to flash and the beaming 37-year-old won a jackpot of about $1,300.
The man paid his fine on the spot — in cash.
