A very unlucky gambler is suing a casino in Canada after losing $260,000 during two visits, saying he should have never been allowed to place wagers in the first place. Shokar, who also has criminal fraud convictions, said the casino over-served him alcohol and encouraged his gambling while he was intoxicated, the Windsor Star reported Thursday. “Our position is he was a compulsive gambler and the casino and/or the OLG were either well-aware of his past background -- or should have been,” said Iain MacKinnon, Shokar's lawyer. He said the casino footed the bill for hundreds of dollars in taxi rides to and from his home. The defendants are asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, saying Shokar has only himself to blame for his losses.
