Wife talked me into going into this place on the way to Biltmore for the weekend. Told her we could each gamble $100 and that was it. She headed for penny slots. I put my $100 in a 10 dollar a pull Wheel of fortune machine. On my 3rd pull I won $500, hit the cash out. Grabbed her and we left. Total time from parking to leaving was under an hour.
Had I been in Vegas, I’d have eventually given it all back after a bunch of drinks.
Instead we had a couple of decent dinners in Asheville and paid for gas with my winnings.

My father, mother, and step-father were all gambiling addicts in the worst possible way. Stole to feed their habit from everyone including their jobs and their kids.
There is desperation in those eyes and i hope this man gets the counciling he needs. He is at the end of his rope and the evils of gambiling have got their claws in him.
At the end of it all there is no one to blame but himself. prayers for him to get the help he needs.

Football cards are as far as I go with gambling.
I'll play $20 a week during football season. I'll hit one good card a season for 1K-2K and stop until next year.

Had a GF that would gamble on the quiet. I worked nights and she worked days. She lost a good bit and blamed me for working nights and not being there for her. I bailed her out when she blew her pay checks. She would float checks at the bar in hopes of winning and buying the check back. That didn't work out a few times. We didn't last long when I told her that was the last time I would help her.
I witnessed people getting freaked out when they couldn't get on the video poker machines at the crowded bars. One time I was offered money to get off a VP machine. The guy seemed very desperate. Things only got worse when the jackpots went from $500 to $1000.

I went to a casino in Reno once....watched a guy win a 5 gallon bucket full of tokens at one of those giant slot machines, after being at it for a minute or two, so it was a pretty big haul. This was a minor prize, however. The big prize was probably 50 or so of these buckets filled with tokens that would come tumbling out of this machine - it was massive. I stood on a mezzanine above this guy, looked down, and watched him put every single token back into that machine and didn't win a thing.

I worked with a guy years ago who was a HUGE poker player. He'd play every weekend, play in all kinds of tournaments and was always broke. Yeah sure, he'd win some here and there. He'd borrow money to buy in to a tournament. Never had nothing. I'd ask him why he does it and he'd say "it's my form of entertainment, you have your entertainment and I have mine". Yeah but my form of entertainment don't leave me broke dumbass.

Someone told me a story about someone who has been dead for awhile, but the guy was known to drink and gamble and there were some good stories about him. One day he got paid. This was back in the early 80s.. He went to the bar where they played cards all the time. Lost his whole paycheck playing cards.. On the way home he tossed his wallet out of his truck and when he got home he told his wife he lost his wallet (which had his check in). That was a one time thing for him, but whats sad are the truck stop casinos that are just a bunch of video poker machines. One of my cousins used to work at one years back and she told me it was actually depressing working there. The people who would get their monthly government check and then go there and lose it all in a few hours, the people who would come across some money and the first thing they do is go to the poker machines. The people who no one would expect, who would wait until everyone at home was sleeping to go sit at a poker machine for 2-3 hours, several nights a week.. And the thing is, I don't understand how people become addicted to video poker. The biggest payout at one time is $100.. The only way to win is put $50 in and cash out the second you go over $50. If you are lucky you hit a hand that pays out $100.

Not me, but I know a lot of people who have won a LOT of money off video poker. I have seen it happen with my own eyes.
You know a lot of people who have hit a jackpot or two but are not actually coming out ahead.

A few snippets from the video (from what I could understand):
" You decide to put a casino up in here..."
"Kids be comin' in here...."
At this point, our intrepid provocateur has successfully
seized the high ground, based on his social commentary
regarding the evils that casinos bring to a community.
" we gonna come up in here are rob e'ething"
Quickly Loses high ground...

I worked with a guy in Spain early 70’s when I was in the Navy that was a professional gambler and investor
He was in a card game or rolling dice every night he was off.Every 3 months he flew to Florida and went to the greyhound races,then to Vegas for 3 days then to New Jersey to the horse races on his way back to Spain.
I picked him up from the airport one trip and I asked him how he did.He pulled a cigar box out of his carry on and it was full of $100 bills.He shuffled through them to show me it was all $100’s.He said he hadn’t counted it yet.
He also bet on sports ,invested in the stock market and commodities.
He and his wife wore expensive clothes,drove expensive cars and had beautiful furniture. He also told me he hadn’t cashed a Navy paycheck in 2 years,they all went in to savings.
He said he stayed in the Navy because there were a lot of suckers in the Navy and for the security of a guaranteed paycheck.He said he had had some dry spells where he didn’t do so well.
I also worked with some other guys that were dead broke and in debt to their eyeballs through gambling.
