I was a problem gambler myself, but I never stole any money from family members. I just work and every paycheck went to the casino, find myself chasing the loss for years. Today, I am 3 weeks sober, and the happiest I am in 3 years. Please people, get some help, it’s not too late to quit gambling!
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind u don’t know cuz u never gamble. It’s the devil’s playground, and the most addictive drug in the world. Best bet is don’t ever gamble. Everyone starts out small but eventually play big to satisfy our neurons to release dopamine.
I have lost everything i worked for my whole life into slot machines. After losing my family,my house,my car and all my savings, it didn't stop there. I would still gamble my paycheck then borrowing money for food till next paycheck. Now, i haven't gambled for over 1 year. How did i do it? i quit my job and moved to another country where gambling is illegal. It was my last resort or suicide. Now, i'm living happy with a shitty $450 wk job. But i'm never broke and rent is always paid.
no as hard u would think. i done it now for 7 years and went with not much money on me like only money to get thre and maybe a a month do live. @@maddenwigley3318
Never look at it as anything other than a night of entertainment. This is a great example of why you never go to make money. You take what you would normally spend on a fun night out. If you lose it, you look at it as entertainment and if you win... it was some really good entertainment.
That's how we play. Although i cant tell you how many times i have seen people chasing the numbers on the Devil's Wheel. 35to1 is hard for a addicted player to pass on.
It's amazing. In an instant, she was set for life and she just threw it away. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't go anywhere near a casino. I would retire.
To gambling addicts, money has no value. It's just fuel to keep the addiction going. Once the addiction hits you and alters your brain patterns the same way drugs do, then you're hooked, and it doesn't matter if you win enough to set you up for life.. you will always go back more and more just to replicate the thrill of winning. That's how this woman lost all those millions.
What you say is true but think about it really hard 2.4million wouldn't you think you'd quit after burning through 100-200,000 that the whole gambling thing isn't going to work out. I've lost a couple Grand a couple times that's alot to lose but after all that you just have to remember its just money you can always make more people let money control them sometimes a little to far in this case.
Gambling is very very addictive..in a spin of the ball u experience all the metaphors of life in 20seconds feeling happy, nervous, excited, anxious, angry all at the same time
I'm in hospital because of same problem Gambling addiction is the most expensive one. Believe me cocaine sounds a better addiction than gambling . And online casino is full scam
I know the feeling you get when you have that rush... I remember playing Silver Oak online casino and with a $30 deposit made it up to $6k and I was betting $500-1K blackjack hands and kept losing and even though I kept telling myself "what am I doing" "why do I keep hitting rebet??" it's like you lose control of common sense and as soon as you know it you're sitting there in shock that you just lost it all.
The problem is that she went crazy over it and probably played high limit and went everyday. If she went to work and gamble small bets and even losing 1k a day she would still have at least 35+ years of gambling.
You would lose it all and be broke within a year.. You say you'd only lose 100k or 200k, but unless you have a plan to spend that (and only that) over the next 30 years, you'll lose it all. I think you'd find that by the time you lose $100,000 or $200k, you will realize how bad it feels to have lost that much, and try to win it back.
Mene Tekel that's possible if you consider giving it to this woman. Set for me the i play in one setting not more than I can lose. If I save up enough I spend it wisely not like that woman. 14 million and bankrupt the in laws. That sheer stupidity. Wow maybe 100 dollars but never ever 14 million that leaves me speechless.
Exactly. There are plenty of millionaires & billionaires who are addicted to gambling as they are losing millions per night at the casinos. They are called high rollers.
It is not about the money. It is about the RUSH you get from gambling. People say when you win you should save some money but No amount of money saved in the bank can give you that rush. That's why people gamble with whatever they have.
I mean come on, you hit jackpot for 13 million and you keep playing? Did she think she was going to hit a bigger jackpot than $13 million. I can’t even win 13 bucks!
Here in Germany where you can play slots in every city in every pub, we have a big problem with gambling addiction too. You can´t walk 500 meters without pass a casino. Even in restaurants there are slots. I like gambling but you have to be disciplined and know your limits, but alot of people can´t deal with it.
Casinos play into greed.. people win like that and the next "logical" thought is: Well how much more could I win off a jackpot at a g a pull? I'm so sad for that lady. And how she hurt those poor old people :(
Once you win big especially in one of these Indian casinos, they do everything in their power to make sure u never win again This has happened to not only myself but friends as well This lady should have never gone back to that place
As De Niro said in Casino, “We’re the only winners. The players don’t stand a chance. The longer they play the more they lose. In the end we get it all”.
If you can count cards and beat them at the tables they will stop you and make you leave. If you lose and lose and lose, they won't say a thing. You play by their rules. The house always wins. Don't go.
you can. some slots are high bets, like 100 dollar a pull. if one bets that much, you can lose thousands in an hour. if you try to play for a day, you can lose a million. it's not that hard. this lady probably was betting hundreds of dollar a pull.
Deends on if you NEEDED that $50. I had a woman tell me she won $50 on a .20 bet and had just won just about enough to go get her phone bill paid with that win. 5 minutes later, she told me she had put the $50 back into the slots and lost it ad said she would have to go to Amscot just to pay her phone and other living expenses. Sad really.
I know the feeling. I'll go, win several hundred and then put it all back. The difference is I know me so I only bring $200. It's like a trance. Very hard to walk away.
This made me cry. I was in an addictions workshop back in 2001. For me, it was for gambling. And, there was one sweet elderly lady who went to prison for 3 years for stealing. It totally ruined her life.
I work at a dog track with a poker room. I see people like this all day ruining their lives just to feed their addiction. There needs to be sticter laws regarding gambling.
I say have limits on how much one can lose in a certain amount of time. Bartenders can cut you off from having too many drinks so why can't casinos do the same?
GOES TO MY POINT.............WINNING IS WORSE THAN LOSING................IF U NEVER WIN..........CHANCES ARE YOU CAN NEVER GET ADDICTED.................ITS ONLY WHEN A PERSON WINS...............THEY GO OVER EDGE..............
+JonBenait06 ...It's actually the chemical released in your brain while you are in the anticipation of winning that gets you hooked. The high from the anticipation of winning is actually more powerful than the high one gets from actually winning. Gambling is totally diabolical and a total ruse. The world would be a much better place if gambling didn't exist. :(
The Moment I won that much I would leave a dollar for the next one to use it (Or whoever wants to take it) and leave, Living on retirement for the rest of my life.
Casinos love to give big jackpots away. They know they will get the money back, it just takes time.. 99.9% of gambling addicts start out with a big win, I was one of them.. Before I won, I never really played much, and would be upset if I lost $70 and not return for months. Then I hit a couple big jackpots and I was hooked and looking for that winning "high".. I ended up losing everything I had, and nearly my life.
I wouldn't say they love giving away big jackpots because if that was the case much fewer people would be losing and going to GA. I'd say for every 100,000 people at a casino there's someone who's really lucky but it's a house game the casino is a business and always will come out on top.
Yes, a good book on the subject is "Addiction By Design." Compulsive gambling is an illness. Putting this woman in prison is not the answer. She should be required to pay off her debts, and receive treatment for her problem.
So many bad things that we need to keep away from, gambling, drugs, alcohol, food addiction, sex addiction, toxic people and social media habits.Most of these things can be avoided if you take up good healthy habits instead.
There are tip lines you can use to report the problem gambler to casinos. This will alert the gaming industry to them and then it allows the industry to trespass them at casinos and deny them entry. If you know of someone in trouble it's the first step to get them help.
Casinos always have the advantage. Amazingly people think the perks that casinos offer are free. If you have gambled money on numerous occasions and left with less then what you came with you just payed for all the supposed free drinks, food, and slot play.
This makes me sick but totally believeable. I am attending my first GA this week before my own problem gets out of hand. I pray I can overcome this illness. Its called chasing losses. I have to fight temptation everyday from a local casino and the state run lotterys and number games.
Fant Asm you can. what are you talking about? i went from $30 playing penny slots, to a $3,335 handpay. took $2,000 and played $1 slots and won $34,231. it does happen.
James B That $20,000.00 was your money, not the casinos once you won it and if you took a brake and left the gaming floor with that wad of cash in your pocket you might have just continued on out the door once saw the green in your hand.
I know it all to well. I have gambled all my life winning a big jackpot and losing it back. Now 14 million is a phenomenal number. My brain is wired if I ever win a substantial amount like 2 million dollars I would have probably switched up and did something else. And had maybe the common sense to cash in my chips.
thats the gambler in you talking :D they had you your whole life, when they bring out the champaigne and say stay in our Ultra luxery mega sweet free of charge to celebrate your win, they got you sucked right back in.
I wonder if she even put any of the winnings in a bank. Imagine going to your bank every day and withdrawing $250,000. Is it even doable without the bank becoming suspicious? I would think some sort of an investigation would be launched right away. For these reasons, I doubt she had it in a bank. And this leads me to another question. How and where did she cash the winning check of 14 million? It sounds to me like a movie in the making for Hollywood.
steveo288 yeah. I'm willing to bet she never got out of the casino until it was gone and they paid her in pieces from the cashier cage with vouchers for the machines instead of a check or cash. probably gave her voucher tickets for $100k at a time, 10x $10k tickets and set her loose with a host in the high limit area and comped her and kept her there until it was all gone.
AND IF YOU PLAY THE SLOTS ON ONLINE CASINO GAMBLING SITES,YOU ARE TRULY SCREWED!THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP THEM FROM MAKING EVERY SPIN A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR YOU THE PLAYER,being there done that,shame on me!!
Serves her right, to much money makes people greedy i'd rather stay poor than be like these people, i have never gambled in my life and i don't ever plan too..I am poor but i have everything i need and being content and happy and having what you need will always be better than being unhappy and never having enough...
PART 2: It all comes down to money. The casinos and gambling establishments are going to keep this game going, because it only keeps their money rolling in, as long as the public and government at large stay ignorant, and think compulsive gambling is just a "choice". ...And for those governments that have legalized gambling, they will stay silent on this issue, so that the money can keep rolling into them. They are not ignorant, and are culpable in such circumstances. ...
SPG America should consider that the way in which story is being broadcast (both headline and brainless reporting) and, in turn, the ignorant comments it has produced do nothing to further a positive message about the need to address gambling addiction. Whilst in the UK we are afforded less judgement in our news that is not to say that the problem of addiction (gambling or otherwise) is not still seen as a personal choice by politicians.
The only type of gambling that's worthwhile is putting money on a game/activity to make it more interesting. Playing hold 'em with friends would suck without throwing money in. If there's fights or a football game on that I don't particularly care about the outcome of, I'll make some bets to give me someone to root for. Slot machines on the other hand are wack af.
I would like to find out how much taxes she ended up paying. Not only on her HUGE win, but on all the hand pays she eventually "won". Don't forget the government has a huge rake in gaming. How much is enough?
djohnranch none. if she won $14 million and lost $14 million that's a net 0 in taxes owed. she can claim up to the amount owed in tax against her gambling loses. just has to get a statement of her play from the casino and using her players card when she plays and it will keep track. gamblers generally don't pay taxes on the wins because over time they have more loses to claim against the tax owed on the wins.
John Burgess the i.r.s only accepts if you use players card to go against win to loss statement..you can try bank statement only if you pull money out at casino or global funding from casino I always have taxes pulled directly from winnings to easy to get caught up.
I just don’t get it. Maybe because I’ve never had much money and know how it truly feels to be broke, but when I win even $500 I’m ready to go home. I immediately stop gambling. I’m ecstatic with my meager wins!
Once addicted, the moment you start playing, you are not sure how far you will go. You may seem like it it under control for a few times, but the inevitable will occur where you will lose all control.... and who knows the end result?
Anyone else watching these videos after seeing that casino ad with the talking face/head thing on a fingertip and all the flashing lights? I never wanted to play slots--even moreso after seeing that ad.
u can never beat the casino......how can u lose $250,000 at slots in one night is incomprehensible,if these machines were designed to pay out in any way thats remotely fair,u would have won grand and mega jackpots at least 10 times that night.
Those who post comments like that CANNOT possibly begin to understand. It is addiction. I was on that road and lost way too much money. Winning is part of the high, just like a drug and addicts will do whatever is necessary to chase that high. I enrolled in a voluntary ban from the casino.
people on here dissing the woman has no clue what gambling addiction is, its like smoking crack or a drinker who cant get enough. its a mean thrill, a broken brain
Casinos should be shut down. They are very dangerous places. If they are not shut down the least we can do is educate our youth in schools about the dangers of gambling. In high school drugs and alcohol are always talked about but not a word is said about gambling.
For one thing, casinos have security EVERYWHERE. They knew all about ths woman and I am sure, courted her heavily with comps, too. The villain is the federal government, specifically the Reagan administration, who passed the Indian Gaming Act in 1988, to help Indians with "economic development." All the casinos do is suck money out of local economies. There is NO net economic development.
One of the worst stories I've heard years ago of gambling addiction a man who had two citizenships of middle east country & the USA had a great paying job & lived in the Midwest was married had three young children, MGM had given him 200K credit limit to play in their casino he was addicted in playing cards table games in time this man had near used up all his credit that the casino gave him therefore owing them back the almost 200k he played with, with all he had lost & then owed back he was depressed angry at himself he then flew back to his residence in the Midwest & fatally shot his wife & all his young children then himself leaving a note behind saying He lost everything to his bad gambling addiction that he couldn't go on living anymore, a reporter from a news agency had asked the casino Management if they feel having any responsibility of what this man did fatally taking his family's lives, they responded saying no, he was given credit & was his choice to gamble with it that they take no blame in this horrific action he took out on his family for his gambling addiction.
Next several decades in prison. . . . That's a lot of license plates that the woman is going to have to make in order to pay back the 14 mil that she stole from her inlaws. The Gambling Casinos need to be held financially liable for the crimes that their customers commit in order to fund their addictions.
Yep worst thing that ever happened to me was beginners luck. I won quite a bit at first, now I can't even cash out online if it's not over 10k.its actually really pathetic and embarrassing
Everyone in Tampa knows the Seminole has the tightest slots in existence, largely in part due to the fact the closest casino to it is hundreds of miles away.
I would go to the casino when I was stressed, lonely, or angry. It took my mind off everyday life. I then became addicted and had to ban myself from the casino.

how do you "quickly" lose $14 million?
you can. some slots are high bets, like 100 dollar a pull. if one bets that much, you can lose thousands in an hour. if you try to play for a day, you can lose a million. it's not that hard. this lady probably was betting hundreds of dollar a pull.
It's ok it's a small loan to trump
I wouldn't Gamble that kind of money if I won 13 million, she's crazy!
You could EASILY lose that in one night. Some high rollers lose double that in one year.
She must of played $10,000 or $25,000 a pull.
And I thought putting back the $50 I won on a lucky spin was bad.... :/
Deends on if you NEEDED that $50. I had a woman tell me she won $50 on a .20 bet and had just won just about enough to go get her phone bill paid with that win. 5 minutes later, she told me she had put the $50 back into the slots and lost it ad said she would have to go to Amscot just to pay her phone and other living expenses.

I wouldn't say they love giving away big jackpots because if that was the case much fewer people would be losing and going to GA. I'd say for every 100,000 people at a casino there's someone who's really lucky but it's a house game the casino is a business and always will come out on top.
But the casino did give her a complimentary buffet so it's all good
I lost $20 and I was mad for so long! Lol!
Yes, a good book on the subject is "Addiction By Design." Compulsive gambling is an illness. Putting this woman in prison is not the answer. She should be required to pay off her debts, and receive treatment for her problem.
What are you talking about? Of course she should go to prison
how about just banning gambling altogether. problem solved. nothing good comes from it.
Thank you!!!
Ahhhh ... big brother to the rescue! Next: outlaw motorcycles and alcohol sales (since Prohibition was such a great success).
So many bad things that we need to keep away from, gambling, drugs, alcohol, food addiction, sex addiction, toxic people and social media habits.Most of these things can be avoided if you take up good healthy habits instead.
There are tip lines you can use to report the problem gambler to casinos. This will alert the gaming industry to them and then it allows the industry to trespass them at casinos and deny them entry. If you know of someone in trouble it's the first step to get them help.
Casinos always have the advantage. Amazingly people think the perks that casinos offer are free. If you have gambled money on numerous occasions and left with less then what you came with you just payed for all the supposed free drinks, food, and slot play.
This makes me sick but totally believeable. I am attending my first GA this week before my own problem gets out of hand. I pray I can overcome this illness. Its called chasing losses. I have to fight temptation everyday from a local casino and the state run lotterys and number games.
Still gambling?
One night I won $20,000 playing blackjack, and blew it all back in one night. I think of it as only losing the $200 I started with. 😂
wow that hurts
u cant win 200 to 20000 dont bullshit pokemon kids and minekampf kids.
Right there with you on that but it's gambling it's a unsavory practice. I haven't been to a casino for month now and I'm praying I never go back
Fant Asm you can. what are you talking about? i went from $30 playing penny slots, to a $3,335 handpay. took $2,000 and played $1 slots and won $34,231. it does happen.
James B That $20,000.00 was your money, not the casinos once you won it and if you took a brake and left the gaming floor with that wad of cash in your pocket you might have just continued on out the door once saw the green in your hand.
I know it all to well. I have gambled all my life winning a big jackpot and losing it back. Now 14 million is a phenomenal number. My brain is wired if I ever win a substantial amount like 2 million dollars I would have probably switched up and did something else. And had maybe the common sense to cash in my chips.
thats the gambler in you talking :D they had you your whole life, when they bring out the champaigne and say stay in our Ultra luxery mega sweet free of charge to celebrate your win, they got you sucked right back in.
"14 million over time" meaning it could have been days, weeks, months.
Casinos suck you in until your life is ruined
I had some relatives that completely destroyed their lives at a casino. House burned down and prison time was the end game.
@Hello Steven Erickson, How are you doing?
I wonder if she even put any of the winnings in a bank. Imagine going to your bank every day and withdrawing $250,000. Is it even doable without the bank becoming suspicious? I would think some sort of an investigation would be launched right away. For these reasons, I doubt she had it in a bank. And this leads me to another question. How and where did she cash the winning check of 14 million? It sounds to me like a movie in the making for Hollywood.
Putting it in the bank is practically giving them permission to steal it.
steveo288 yeah. I'm willing to bet she never got out of the casino until it was gone and they paid her in pieces from the cashier cage with vouchers for the machines instead of a check or cash.
probably gave her voucher tickets for $100k at a time, 10x $10k tickets and set her loose with a host in the high limit area and comped her and kept her there until it was all gone.
MrBeard17 is
She was doing 0 illegal. What would the bank be suspicious off.. shes legit..
@@MrBeard17u sad..
AND IF YOU PLAY THE SLOTS ON ONLINE CASINO GAMBLING SITES,YOU ARE TRULY SCREWED!THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP THEM FROM MAKING EVERY SPIN A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR YOU THE PLAYER,being there done that,shame on me!!
Serves her right, to much money makes people greedy i'd rather stay poor than be like these people, i have never gambled in my life and i don't ever plan too..I am poor but i have everything i need and being content and happy and having what you need will always be better than being unhappy and never having enough...

PART 2: It all comes down to money. The casinos and gambling establishments are going to keep this game going, because it only keeps their money rolling in, as long as the public and government at large stay ignorant, and think compulsive gambling is just a "choice". ...And for those governments that have legalized gambling, they will stay silent on this issue, so that the money can keep rolling into them. They are not ignorant, and are culpable in such circumstances. ...
The mind of a gambler is a mind of ambivalence.
SPG America should consider that the way in which story is being broadcast (both headline and brainless reporting) and, in turn, the ignorant comments it has produced do nothing to further a positive message about the need to address gambling addiction. Whilst in the UK we are afforded less judgement in our news that is not to say that the problem of addiction (gambling or otherwise) is not still seen as a personal choice by politicians.
Greed is the downfall of humanity.
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
OMGGGGGGG.... 14 million. Walk away.....
I'm sorry...but if you cannot set a limit and cannot control yourself, then you absolutely have no excuses whatsoever.
The only type of gambling that's worthwhile is putting money on a game/activity to make it more interesting. Playing hold 'em with friends would suck without throwing money in. If there's fights or a football game on that I don't particularly care about the outcome of, I'll make some bets to give me someone to root for. Slot machines on the other hand are wack af.
I would like to find out how much taxes she ended up paying. Not only on her HUGE win, but on all the hand pays she eventually "won". Don't forget the government has a huge rake in gaming. How much is enough?
djohnranch none.
if she won $14 million and lost $14 million that's a net 0 in taxes owed. she can claim up to the amount owed in tax against her gambling loses. just has to get a statement of her play from the casino and using her players card when she plays and it will keep track.
gamblers generally don't pay taxes on the wins because over time they have more loses to claim against the tax owed on the wins.
John Burgess the i.r.s only accepts if you use players card to go against win to loss statement..you can try bank statement only if you pull money out at casino or global funding from casino I always have taxes pulled directly from winnings to easy to get caught up.
The most I ever take to the casino is 20 bucks, membership card and my ID. I leave all bank cards and cash at home! LOL
I just don’t get it. Maybe because I’ve never had much money and know how it truly feels to be broke, but when I win even $500 I’m ready to go home. I immediately stop gambling. I’m ecstatic with my meager wins!
i hear about this stuff... and then i get caught on "she's going to prison for decades" ... rapists go to prison for
Crazy, i've been to that Casino before, they'd never see me again if i won 13 million
Omg 14 million I never won 50,000 thousand 😧😖
"the thrill of those magical triple 7's landed her behind "bars""....no pun intended?
how the hell can you loose 13 million on slots ? she must have been playing nonstop wtf
I wish that gambling was illegal in the US.
it's not a "bad habit." It's a bad gambler.
jdmikeg4 , . 💩😍☺😏😋😍😋😇😊🙂😋🤔😗😚🙄😋😣😚😘☺🤗🙂😋😏😘☺🙄
i guess when u are addicted to gambling, the more money u have, the higher u gamble. so, no amount of money is enough or too much! very deadly stuff.
Dam... 13 million was the casino win. So basically she spent another 1 million to Chase the 13 million . 😮
Once addicted, the moment you start playing, you are not sure how far you will go. You may seem like it it under control for a few times, but the inevitable will occur where you will lose all control.... and who knows the end result?
How didn't her in-laws not know this?...
Some people are way too trusting.
JonBenait06 You're using a "double negative" so does this mean that her in laws really did know? ...
JonBenait06 Oooh it sure is lol! Sorry about that lol!
when I go to the casino all I bring is $100, and I have the time of my life.
omg! im so thankful i dont have an addiction that would cost me millions
Anyone else watching these videos after seeing that casino ad with the talking face/head thing on a fingertip and all the flashing lights? I never wanted to play slots--even moreso after seeing that ad.
u can never beat the casino......how can u lose $250,000 at slots in one night is incomprehensible,if these machines were designed to pay out in any way thats remotely fair,u would have won grand and mega jackpots at least 10 times that night.
you could lose 14mil pretty easily if you were playing a 5000 slot the aria in vegas has 5000 slots
amazed that many bad spins existed
She could have put that $14,000,000 into peer-2-peer lending and make 7% a year, that's $980,000 a year, $2,684 a day!!!!!
If she won $14 million typically the casino would claim it’s a malfunction. Have a free steak dinner instead!
Silly Humans.
Those who post comments like that CANNOT possibly begin to understand. It is addiction. I was on that road and lost way too much money. Winning is part of the high, just like a drug and addicts will do whatever is necessary to chase that high. I enrolled in a voluntary ban from the casino.
I would pay off mortgage, invest, take care of mom.
people on here dissing the woman has no clue what gambling addiction is, its like smoking crack or a drinker who cant get enough. its a mean thrill, a broken brain
Casinos should be shut down. They are very dangerous places.
If they are not shut down the least we can do is educate our youth in schools about the dangers of gambling. In high school drugs and alcohol are always talked about but not a word is said about gambling.
you blew 14million . ??? wtf .. i would be out
Nicole Smith man what I would ran out of there
A fool and their money will be easily separated.
For one thing, casinos have security EVERYWHERE. They knew all about ths woman and I am sure, courted her heavily with comps, too.
The villain is the federal government, specifically the Reagan administration, who passed the Indian Gaming Act in 1988, to help Indians with "economic development." All the casinos do is suck money out of local economies. There is NO net economic development.
if i won that kind of money, i have to buy everything i want (house, cars, etc) before i can come back there again and gamble again.
One of the worst stories I've heard years ago of gambling addiction a man who had two citizenships of middle east country & the USA had a great paying job & lived in the Midwest was married had three young children, MGM had given him 200K credit limit to play in their casino he was addicted in playing cards table games in time this man had near used up all his credit that the casino gave him therefore owing them back the almost 200k he played with, with all he had lost & then owed back he was depressed angry at himself he then flew back to his residence in the Midwest & fatally shot his wife & all his young children then himself leaving a note behind saying He lost everything to his bad gambling addiction that he couldn't go on living anymore, a reporter from a news agency had asked the casino Management if they feel having any responsibility of what this man did fatally taking his family's lives, they responded saying no, he was given credit & was his choice to gamble with it that they take no blame in this horrific action he took out on his family for his gambling addiction.
Next several decades in prison. . . . That's a lot of license plates that the woman is going to have to make in order to pay back the 14 mil that she stole from her inlaws. The Gambling Casinos need to be held financially liable for the crimes that their customers commit in order to fund their addictions.
Yep worst thing that ever happened to me was beginners luck. I won quite a bit at first, now I can't even cash out online if it's not over 10k.its actually really pathetic and embarrassing
Everyone in Tampa knows the Seminole has the tightest slots in existence, largely in part due to the fact the closest casino to it is hundreds of miles away.
Getting depressed even by thinking about it
I would go to the casino when I was stressed, lonely, or angry. It took my mind off everyday life. I then became addicted and had to ban myself from the casino.
