(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, February 21, 2013 ) Lessendrum, UK -- Casino Fails are proud to announce the launch of their new site, casinofails.com , which will serve to enlighten and entertain both gamblers and casino operators alike with its funny stories of anything and everything going wrong at the casino.
In the long tradition of collecting stories regarding an industry, this site was created with the aim of both enlightening and entertaining those interested in gambling and casinos. With the advent of online casinos changing the face of gambling, there is something refreshing and unique about hearing stories of land-based casinos.
The site is devoted not to mocking those with problematic gambling habits or genuine misfortune. Rather, the creators are committed to the original definition of "schadenfreude", the colourful German word which has no equivalent in English, but can be defined as "happiness at the deserved misfortune of others." Thus, it is the key of those who deserve it - through ignorance or arrogance - suffering from their deeds that creates such a sadistic sense of pleasure in observing them fail.
The stories featured on Casino Fails start out as a taster of what will soon populate the site. The story of a drunken man taking an ill-advised swim in the Treasure Island moat; the non-too-clever escape plan of a Vietnamese gambler who hid from his gambling debts in his own house; and the even weirder story of a young guy whose seemingly harmless experimentation with recreational drugs sent him streaking naked through a casino declaring himself to be the terminator.
The site will accept user submissions by creating a simple and easy to use submission feature on the website, with clear guidelines on how to get the story ready for publication. The site will also be curated by creator Owen May to ensure quality. May has had a long career in the gambling industry and has always had a penchant for collecting entertaining tales about casinos, which tend to attract the craziest characters. "I've got quite a collection of stories that will go up on the site, and I'm excited to start collecting user submissions as well," he stated, "I'm always on the look-out for new gambling stories and there is a wealth of crazy tales out there to share."
The Casino Fails website will be accepting user submissions and hopes to become a mainstay of gamblers around the world who are looking for a laugh.
