After the bad losing run Parviz Mashayekhi, 46, a businessman from Kensington, allegedly poured petrol over Tara Lyons, a croupier at the Connoisseur Club in the Royal Garden Hotel in West London, before spraying petrol over other croupiers and gaming tables.

He is then said to have tried to ignite the petrol with a lighter before being seized by security staff and held until police arrived. The casino is said to be popular amongst London’s footballing celebrities.

Parviz Mashayekhi is charged with attempting to destroy a casino and endangering life - his case will resume on 9th January at Blackfriars Crown Court.
