Shoeless Joe
This story happened in 1995 when, at the casino doorstep, an old man appeared, who looked homeless. He had 400 dollars in his pocket, the money that he had just received from the social fund. His appearance looked strange, the man did not even have any shoes, but the casino opened their doors to him, as for any other guests. The man sat down to play and started to win. The security team decided to watch him and provided him with a hotel room and new clothes. The man continued to win over the next few days and gained over a million from the casino. However, his luck soon ran out and the shoeless man lost all his winnings because he was unable to stop in time.
