Saw a guy at NY NY Casino playing 3 hands at a time Black Jack in the high roller area. He had a lot of yellows stacked on each hand and he split 8's four times on one hand against dealer up card of 6. Double down on both of the other hands. He had a lot of money in play to say the least. Dealer tosses up her hole card of face card and the insta 5 rolled out of the shoe and he lost all hands.
Before the dealer could scoop up the chips and cards he yells don't fucking touch a thing and call your boss over. Dealer was bewildered and was hesitate but the pit heard him yelling and came over. Guy says do me a favor and take the chips but leave the cards as they are. Pit boss tries to calm him down and the guy grabs the cards on the table and starts ripping them in half and tossing them in the air. People from the other tables around him start cheering him on and security comes out of nowhere and tackles the guy knocking him into the table behind him and the table topples over and there is chips flying all over the place.
At first no one moved but then some skinny Asian guy starts scooping up chips like it was Christmas and ran off. Others started picking up chips and leaving as fast as possible. A bunch of hulk security guards come out of nowhere and formed a circle around the area so no one could get out. They didn't let people out until they were verified by camera they didn't take any of the chips. This was the most chaotic scene I have ever seen.
Not sure what happened to the guy that ripped up the cards but he was escorted off the floor while all of this was going on. I didn't even bother to go near any loose chips, the consequences to scoop up some chips and run off in my mind were to great. Keep in mind this was in the high roller area off in the back of the casino where they have the high limit slot area. Not sure if it is still set up that way because this was years ago on a Saturday night.
I have my own personal story about the same area and casino but I didn't lose it or go nuts. But almost.....
