Police said Thursday that two officers carrying out routine checks at an arcade in the western city of Bochum, Germany, late last week discovered that a man playing a slot machine faced an arrest warrant.
He had been ordered to pay a €710 (US$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 jackpot of €1,000 (about US$1,300).
The man paid his fine on the spot — in cash.
Thanks to hearsetrax for the tip.
Do Germans deserve miracles, I wonder? What a coincidence...I was just curious since I have a neighbor and until now has remained a Natzi in her past 80's...

It happened in the Dorstener Straße. I just wonder how much money he put into the machines before winning. Gamblers say that those machines pay.
Schwein gehabt! Maybe you want to go gamble there!![LOL LOL](/emoticons/lol.gif)
My bad...![LOL LOL](/emoticons/lol.gif)
Do police over there cruise around with receipt books or do they use honor system? He won just at the right time.
lucky for him.
Yeah, cuz there was once a time in Germany where they'd have just pulled out a Lugar and shot him.
Perfect timing...... and he still pocketed(US$390).![Big Grin Big Grin](/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
