What is the strangest thing you have ever witnessed or heard about a player do that was allowed by the casino.
I played near a player referred to as the banana man. He had 2 tables reserved playing about 5-10 thousand per hand. The casino had brought in a small refrigerator with extra bananas and he would squeeze and throw to work out his frustrations.
I also heard about a player (high roller) who didn't want to leave the table but needed to urinate. He was brought a pail and a towel.

That is strange. The only thing I can think of is a player playing banker and player on a single hand of Baccarat. Guess he was recording the results and just wanted to see the result of the next hand. ($10 min, playing the min on each hand)

I saw a guy at the Blackjack Table once who would blow his nose everytime he lost a hand, forcefully. He also had a handerkerchief in his breast pocket and one in the inside pocket of his jacket. If he lost due to a bust, he would go to the inside pocket, any other loss was the breast pocket handkerchief.

I have to believe he reached the point where there was not even the remotest amount of mucus left in his nose/sinuses, intuitively I have to believe that one can cause oneself great injury that way, but I'm not sure what the injury would be.

Binion's had a roulette table close to the Fremont street
entrance a few years ago. A middle aged Latino guy came
in, bet $25 on red, and when the ball fell into a black
number he snatched the green chip off of red and fast
walked right back out to Fremont st. I was stunned and
so was the dealer. He called the pit guy over and they
laughed about it and that was that.

If it had happened in an Indain casino, the guy would
have been tackled by 4 security guards and the police
would have showed up. Vegas is laid back, thats for
sure.
