BERLIN (AP) -- 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 710-euro ($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 1,000-euro ($1,270) jackpot.
The man paid his fine on the spot - in cash. Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/25/man-hits-jackpot-to-pay-fine_n_5881520.html?utm_hp_ref=weird-news&ir=Weird+News
