Narrative:
A patron at Ho-Chunk Casino won a jackpot on a slot machine, but when he discovered the payout wasn’t very large, he slammed the machine in frustration, breaking the glass display and sending shards toward the person next to him.
Paramedics met with the other patron, who initially reported glass got in his eye but now said he was no longer experiencing discomfort, vision changes or other issues. He said he no longer needed EMS.
The man who broke the glass wished to be seen for glass in his hand. Paramedics noted a small scratch that was not bleeding and did not need stitches. At the man’s request, he was taken to the hospital.
