A GAMBLER was found dead at home after he lost £25,000 playing roulette and “crack cocaine” slot machines at a casino.

Huseyin Yaman, 37, was furious after he lost the huge sum at Aspers Casino in Stratford, East London, on Sunday night.

He was eventually escorted from the premises and his heartbroken brother found him hanged at home in Hackney, North London, in the early hours of Monday morning.

Devastated family members said it was common knowledge that Mr Yaman had a gambling problem and it is believed he had lost around £100,000 in two years.

A source told MailOnline the businessman was approached at least twice and asked whether he had a gambling problem but was not removed from the casino.

His family added that he was not helped by the casino and his cousin said his death has “devastated” his parents.

His cousin, also called Hyseyin Yaman, 36, said his brother Mustafa found him dead at home.

One of Mr Yaman's friends said he had “lost between £25,000 and £27,000” during a session on Sunday.

Another family member paid tribute to Mr Yaman and said his "smile is always on his mind".

The latest figures suggest two people a day reportedly take their own lives after playing fixed odd machines.

Sports minister Tracey Crouch decided to quit last month following a delay in making changes the stakes.

Her resignation came after calls to cut the maximum amount to be placed on one spin from £100 to £2 were delayed.

A Scotland Yard spokesman told The Sun Online: "Police were called at 00.32am on Monday, November 12 to reports of a man acting aggressively at a casino in Stratford.

"Officers attended and dealt with a 37-year-old man at the venue.

"Later that day police were called to a concern for the welfare of the same man at a property in Hackney.

"Officers attended alongside the LAS. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious. Due to the previous contact with police, the matter has been referred to the IOPC."

A spokesman for Aspers told The Sun Online: “We can confirm that the man who tragically died was an Aspers customer.

“Early on Monday morning he became emotional and agitated in the casino. Our staff followed proper and well-practised procedures and took him to a quiet room.

“Since he remained in an agitated state, we asked for police assistance and handed him to officers who took him from the casino.

“The chain of events in the few hours following his removal from our premises remains under investigation by police and the coroner's office. Therefore we can make no further comment.”
