Ben Affleck was allegedly kicked out of a casino in Canada

An insider told Star magazine: "Ben walked in and went straight to the card games. His hair was a disaster, and he looked like a mess!

"He sat down and played for roughly 20 minutes before security heard he was there. They made the dealers stop what they were doing and asked him to leave. Ben seemed pretty mad."

Another source said: "It took me a minute to realise it was Ben Affleck. He looked dishevelled and upset while sitting there gambling.

"He seemed really frazzled like he had just lost a ton of money. He was smoking a cigarette and his head was down in his arms. When he sat up his eyes looked bloodshot, like he'd been there all night!"

The Caesar Windsor Hotel and Casino declined to comment, but a close to the 'Argo' director and star, who has three children, Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and two-year-old Samuel, with wife Jennifer Garner, dismissed the report and told the MailOnline: "It didn't happen."

Counting cards is a gambling strategy, which involves counting card values to decrease betting risk during a major game.
