"Mihad Kukuljevic, 67, told a croupier he was going to come back and bomb the casino after losing $200 on a roulette table in November last year.

"…The 67-year-old man pleaded guilty in Darwin Magistrates Court yesterday to one charge of threatening to burn or destroy a building.

"…Magistrate Dick Wallace said he had never seen someone charged with threatening to blow up a building before, and placed Kukuljevic on a two-year good behaviour bond…"
