An Ontario man hit the jackpot playing a slot machine last month in Etobicoke, but he still hasn’t been able to collect his winnings because he doesn’t have photo ID.
“I said to the casino I just want to get my money and never to go back there again,” said Anthony Michael, of Welland, Ont.
Ontario’s gaming industry is concerned criminals are using casinos for money laundering, so anyone who wins more than $3,000 must produce a government issued photo ID.
On Nov.18, Michael stopped at Casino Woodbine to play a slot machine, and within a few minutes he hit the jackpot of $4,133.50.
