Celebrity
an Addict
Reformed Pokie addict Leigh Hart has emulated
his hero Norm Gunsten and broken out of a serious
pokie machine addiction and into television and
with it - his own TV comedy show.
Leigh, also known as Slot to fellow gamblers, hit
an all time low when he lost his entire fortune
after a two day Pokie marathon in Mangere.

"I normally always play Dolphins Treasure
first thing on Saturday mornings and Maximus after
lunch but watched some fat bastard pump Queen Nile
full of twenties and get squat. I figured that I'd
wait and play Treasue Island until he lost his bundle,
but I'd nailed eight bags of twenties before I'd
even got a Golden Chest!."
"Before
I knew it was Monday morning and I had to go to
work, except that I'd sold my car and was down to
my undies. I knew then that I needed help (to get
a ride back into Auckland)."
Leigh can now be seen on his own comedy show
- Moon TV (although he was spotted only recently
with 2 bags of twenties heading for Kennys Bar
& Grill).
