If you think splitting 10s is a good way to clear a table...

Must have been one hell of a negative swing.

Man kills himself at Niagara Falls casino blackjack table

I wonder how many of us could have kept the count during the commotion.

LOL! Guess he asked for "a hit" and decided to do it himself.

Word on the area news is that his girlfriend, a dealer there had broken up with him. Walked up to her table, put the gun to his chest ... bang!!! Kills himself .... yea ..... that'll teach her ... bad dealer, bad.

Surprisingly, the crowd didn't panic. Suppose that would throw off your count?

Where I come from, the female dealer's name would be "Guido", and the players at the table would nonchalantly announce, "Seat open."

We talking about mob joints again?

Newer word on the news is that *maybe* he had gambling debts.
In that case wouldn't "Guido" have done the deed?

Am I wrong for thinking that maybe they could have prevented it by having a better game?

I mean 8d DOA DAS mediocre penetrations ain't all that great.

Sad that he's dead and all-- but I really have to comment on this.

He shot himself in the chest? wtf? I mean, if you're going to do yourself in, what happened to the headshot? Shoot yourself in the chest, and you painfully suffer for a good long time before you either a) die or b) are cured, and have a whole new world of crapstorms to face.

Of course, if I have to go out by gunshot in a casino-- I'm taking out as many CSMs with me in a blaze of glory before I go.

He should have pawned the gun and split those ten's.

Wow the story also says that someone else had jumped to his death from the parking lot!

Yes, but that was a few years ago.

That's funny because when I told my wife about this, since we've played there, she said "Geez, what happened to people just jumping out the window."

Ah - the good old days lol.
