re: Jumper at the Belle yesterday

I don't know if it was ever true, but it seems like I have heard this happen a few times over the years. I remember hearing about a guy jumping off one of the casino boats into the river. I wonder if they go in needing a certain amount of money for something that got themselves into and it is an all or nothing situation. They will either hit it big or lose it all & if they lose it all they already predetermined they will jump?
