Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | Slot machine saves German gambler as police arrive Insider Buzz: Slot machine saves German gambler as police arriveRating: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. AP
