Cocaine on Casino Table a No-No in Australia

While playing poker in a home game, your buddies might not mind if you dropped a bit of cocaine on the table. But don't do it in a casino or you're liable to be arrested and hauled into court.

An Australia man found that out the hard way at the Sky City Casino in Darwin when he reached into his wallet for more cash and a baggie containing 0.34 grams of cocaine fell out. Reza Passmore tried to put the coke back in his pocket and continue playing, but casino officials summoned the police.

The cops viewed the incident on a security camera tape and promptly arrested Passmore. His explanation was that the baggie held "just a few party drugs for tonight,"abc.net reported.

The case was disposed with Passmore receiving a $300 fine. No word on whether his gambling winnings that evening covered the amount of the fine.
