Hunedoara, Romania -- Banned from his local casino for allegedly swearing and shouting too loud, a Romanian went on hunger strike for three days in protest.

Ioan Seutiut, 49, sat down on a chair in front of the casino in Deva, Hunedoara county, with a note reading: "Roulette hunger strike," saying he will not eat or accept medical attention until he is allowed to play roulette in the casino again.

"I have a lot of money on me and I want to play it all on the roulette but they just don't let me. Seutiut said. "They say I swear and talk too loud but everybody shouts in there especially when losing."

"After all it's not a church, it's the roulette."

Seutiut said he is planning to erect a tent just outside the casino and stay in it until he is allowed to play or is reimbursed the money he lost there which is about USD12,000.

"I love the roulette even though it cost me lots of money," he added. "But that's my problem and all I ask from this casino is to let me play."

"If not I will not leave this place."
