00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:48.004
lucky We both like to gamble. That\'s right.

00:07:48.005 --> 00:07:51.528
Well it it\'s reminiscent of my childhood do

00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:56.448
when as a youngster I lived on
Long Island and they used to have

00:07:56.449 --> 00:08:00.559
what they call the penny arcades there
and you would go in and play or a

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:06.468
penny unfortunately it was also
during the depression and my dad.

00:08:06.469 --> 00:08:09.679
Certainly didn\'t have much
dough and occasionally

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.859
he\'d give us two or three pennies on a
Sunday when we\'d be at the beach and we\'d go

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:16.939
play there when the two
sensor the $0.03 was used up

00:08:16.940 --> 00:08:21.559
finally we were standing around
with long faces and we were kind

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:27.109
of unhappy so when I go to the casino it brings
back my childhood and I feel I feel very

00:08:27.110 --> 00:08:29.928
happy there because I feel that
I\'m fulfilling something that I

00:08:29.929 --> 00:08:33.349
couldn\'t do as a youngster I\'m
playing as long as I want.

00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:36.589
Until midnight 12 in the
morning or whatever and

00:08:36.590 --> 00:08:40.699
that for pennies now but for a little
bit more money than in the past.

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:42.949
I like to play violin.

00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:48.768
I\'ve got a two or three team
violin and gambling is streaks.

00:08:48.769 --> 00:08:50.778
Perhaps Whatever you
know you\'re looking for

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:55.740
streaks and it\'s just like people
I\'ve picked up here on the GitHub.

00:08:55.990 --> 00:08:59.298
I take him to the airport
and they\'ve lost everything

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:02.538
or had a bad visit and they
said I\'ll be damned if I\'m

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:05.898
ever going to come back to this down again
he says That\'s what I said the last

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:09.573
time I was here And my son

00:09:09.574 --> 00:09:13.969
works at the Tropicana
hotels Vehler previously

00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:18.678
it works with the Sams and the
aloud and both were imploded.

00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.498
And went to high school here
graduated out locally and in

00:09:21.499 --> 00:09:24.679
1974 and then eventually like
all a lot of my friends we all

00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:27.739
got into the gambling
industry and my break-in job

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:31.069
was in 1978 at the four queens
which is completely different than

00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:33.229
what you\'d see today but that\'s
where I learned how to deal

00:09:33.230 --> 00:09:36.739
21 and relat Had a break in somewhere
and that was pretty good brake

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:41.598
and house I had my choice of either
being a cocktail waitress or

00:09:41.599 --> 00:09:44.328
a dealer and I decided I would be more

00:09:44.329 --> 00:09:48.094
comfortable with a table
between me and the patron.

00:09:48.095 --> 00:09:56.095
So I chose being a dealer and I went
to Tahoe for one summer and left

00:09:56.195 --> 00:10:00.108
27 years later I wanted to
live in a warmer climate

00:10:00.109 --> 00:10:06.599
and Las Vegas became the
logical choice I rob banks.

00:10:07.090 --> 00:10:10.593
I worked for tuck shop.

00:10:10.594 --> 00:10:12.154
Do an alteration.

00:10:12.155 --> 00:10:20.155
Maybe 34 hours a day five days a week It\'s
a part-time job and it keeps me busy.

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:23.269
Otherwise I\'ll be at a casino everyday.

00:10:23.270 --> 00:10:26.654
So this way it breaks it up and
that\'s a very nice bottle of rest

00:10:26.655 --> 00:10:31.248
it that\'s very good I could
go out make a $100 a

00:10:31.249 --> 00:10:33.529
day very easy but the trouble

00:10:33.530 --> 00:10:39.454
is I just don\'t wanna do that every
day I\'d rather work a little bit.

00:15:08.525 --> 00:15:14.988
Then when you get a ticket to eat
you get one every eight hours.

00:15:14.989 --> 00:15:20.193
So you save one for the next day and
you go back and have something to eat.

00:15:20.194 --> 00:15:22.069
Save money that way.

00:15:22.070 --> 00:15:24.930
Use that money to gamble with.

00:15:26.410 --> 00:15:30.150
OK I was lucky.

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:35.358
Thank you of John I\'ll say

00:15:35.359 --> 00:15:40.898
yeah Years ago with gambling business was
pretty much for out of town or if you had a

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:43.758
come along way to get hairy they\'re
driving her flying here and so we

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.059
had little local places but
we never didn\'t like cater to

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:49.489
the locals and then we did
have the show but Hotel which

00:15:49.490 --> 00:15:53.779
was off the strip but pretty
much a local local place than

00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:55.979
the palace station casinos that have all

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:58.338
opened up that started off as a
little place called the bingo

00:15:58.339 --> 00:16:01.459
palace and over time just

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:05.179
they did just caught on and he started
marketing and it\'s kinda of a certain.

00:16:05.180 --> 00:16:08.568
Local cannibalism here\'s a people
going out making an income

00:16:08.569 --> 00:16:11.839
and now here they are preying on
their own people and my dad would

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:13.459
tour for hank Green\'s been who was one of

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:17.299
the early beckon lit Benny Binyan
Howard Hughes hank Green\'s

00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:20.179
been there\'s this this you
know Handful of folks who

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:23.359
were larger than life and
symbolize the Old Las Vegas.

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.043
But his welcome to Las Vegas
president wasn\'t money clip with

00:16:26.044 --> 00:16:28.593
a $100 chip in it quite quite
an elegant kip this was

00:16:28.594 --> 00:16:31.218
early 60s and Mr. Greenspan

00:16:31.219 --> 00:16:33.258
several days or weeks later than stop

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:36.408
my father and he said Bob I think I was
gonna get a Coke I hadn\'t needed dollar.

00:16:36.409 --> 00:16:38.344
My dad reach status money Clifton

00:16:38.345 --> 00:16:40.548
Mr. Greenspan\'s at all I forgot let
me look at the I forgot I gave you

00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:44.689
that later The again as the legend goes Mr.
Greenspan gave all of

00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:49.218
his key employees a money clip
with a $100 chip in it and always

00:16:49.219 --> 00:16:52.518
had an excuse a week or two later to look
at it again and if the chip had been

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.583
removed or been replaced with
a lower denomination chip

00:16:56.584 --> 00:16:58.339
they got a little lecture
on the fact that you don\'t

00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.108
live in Las Vegas and gamble that was

00:17:00.109 --> 00:17:04.128
the mindset In the old days that mindset

00:17:04.129 --> 00:17:07.938
has changed dramatically now there
is a whole separate market for

00:17:07.939 --> 00:17:13.638
local gamblers but again my my childhood
memories are my parents getting kinda grumbling

00:17:13.639 --> 00:17:15.799
wouldn\'t they had out-of-town company
and had to go gamble because

00:17:15.800 --> 00:17:18.919
the perception was you don\'t
do that when you live here

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.999
nowadays it\'s perceived as a socially
appropriate cash paycheck you

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:28.188
use childcare you can file your income tax
returns this sending locals all kinds of

00:17:28.189 --> 00:17:30.424
little fruit promotions everywhere you have

00:17:30.425 --> 00:17:33.169
just night and day really of way of
marketing you have something more

00:17:33.170 --> 00:17:36.438
casinos today you\'ve got 4
thousand room hotels and so you\'ve

00:17:36.439 --> 00:17:39.739
gotta fill him with people and how many
people can actually come to a casino

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:43.609
and gamble all day and all night
to fill those places up You

00:17:43.610 --> 00:17:47.508
see 7-Elevens and bonds is
that how slot machines but now

00:17:47.509 --> 00:17:51.048
they cater to that so there like you have
your big casinos you medium-size casinos in

00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:54.919
a little minute casinos
inside the stores you can now

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.208
when the big jackpot just like in

00:17:56.209 --> 00:18:00.258
the big casinos and

00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:03.649
now you have a roller coaster around a
hotel you\'ve got our volcano in front

00:18:03.650 --> 00:18:06.258
of a big old another hotel
and pirates fighting

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:09.678
every night they wanted this to be a family
town that was another thing that we\'re

00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:11.868
marketing towards was the
come on bring the kids and

00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:14.389
Circus Circus had a niche
because you could drop off

00:18:14.390 --> 00:18:16.744
the kids and be relatively safe well then

00:18:16.745 --> 00:18:20.028
all the other places picked up on it so they
tried to go after this family attitude.

00:18:20.029 --> 00:18:23.479
Well the thing is that let\'s face
this We have 24-hour gambling 24-hour

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:28.023
drinking and legalized prostitution 50
miles from here we\'re not a family town.

00:18:28.024 --> 00:18:35.028
Including Wheel of Fortune
Jeopardy and much more.

00:18:35.029 --> 00:18:39.499
I\'m probably one of the one of the
few people in Las Vegas who can

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:43.398
honestly say I\'ve never
played a table game I started

00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:51.399
gambling on machines I began gambling on
video Kino machines which is very much like

00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:55.578
a life Kino game it\'s simply selecting
numbers and it\'s a random lottery kind of

00:18:55.579 --> 00:19:01.279
process I played that very briefly
because I didn\'t find there to be.

00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:04.639
It wasn\'t stimulating enough I
found it to be somewhat boring And

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.178
so as an experiment I
moved to video poker I

00:19:08.179 --> 00:19:10.249
particularly thought video
poker was a good place to go

00:19:10.250 --> 00:19:12.438
because I didn\'t know a lot
about gambling I actually

00:19:12.439 --> 00:19:17.059
was fairly ignorant of most
games but video poker.

00:19:17.060 --> 00:19:22.039
Has this wonderful built-in instruction
screened so you know you can

00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:24.334
sit down in a video poker
machine and you can

00:19:24.335 --> 00:19:27.154
look like you know what you\'re
doing even if you don\'t.

00:19:27.155 --> 00:19:30.259
And I didn\'t want to look
like a tourist I want

00:19:30.260 --> 00:19:33.259
it to look like I knew what
I was doing and frankly

00:19:33.260 --> 00:19:37.098
once I found video poker I
never left literally I never

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:42.018
left out was gambling AV bad
is that I add a new ball

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:44.598
I\'ve free right so they
see monad and won\'t know

00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.808

00:19:57.649 --> 00:19:59.793
They\'ll know I was at their gambling.

00:19:59.794 --> 00:20:03.229
The whole damn basically as
owls don\'t they wouldn\'t

00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:06.618
see me for days on end and
wonder wearable zeta it is say

00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:10.998

know what he looked like but that\'s do you
care before and issue things got CDs.

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:20.909
This mayor which was really mad machines.

00:20:25.540 --> 00:20:30.738
There\'s a certain dealer swing ship And
every time I go in the casino it\'s

00:20:30.739 --> 00:20:35.538
opinions I look for her and
I\'ll go over the tables they

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:43.539
how\'s my favorite blog I follow her
hoping that I\'d be lucky at what tables.

00:20:45.770 --> 00:20:51.994
Sometimes I\'m lucky sometimes and
sometimes she\'s running hot.

00:20:51.995 --> 00:20:54.438
That means get off the table.

00:20:54.439 --> 00:21:00.329
She tells me out loud in front
I have body a morning hot Lu.

00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:09.320
Yeah I have to do it just when you
thought you had a winning hand

00:21:13.510 --> 00:21:16.069
Obvious son of a gun Linda

00:21:16.070 --> 00:21:24.070
that just can\'t be

00:21:25.639 --> 00:21:33.209
stubborn and chase f the money you
get up and move to another table.

00:21:34.810 --> 00:21:42.810
Good luck everybody the horseshoe has 55
Blackjack tables you can\'t lose at every table.

00:21:44.509 --> 00:21:49.849
So you gotta try to depict a lucky C
and you jump around like a rabbit.

00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:55.459
Move around they call me
the rabbit I invested

00:21:55.460 --> 00:22:03.460
$200 and the game and I was
down to two lousy $5 chips.

00:22:03.769 --> 00:22:07.728
I told the people around
me and I\'m gonna get back

00:22:07.729 --> 00:22:13.639
my investment and make a $100 and quit
and I did exactly what I predicted.

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:21.640
There from the nucleus to the dams and quarters
and the 50 things move in the dollar and

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:26.958
the Van Allen machine it was it was like

00:22:26.959 --> 00:22:31.368
a relaxation because I have a lot
of streets at me moving here

00:22:31.369 --> 00:22:34.309
was not the streets it
was just streets massive

00:22:34.310 --> 00:22:39.969
because It was different you
know I come from Chattanooga

00:22:39.970 --> 00:22:44.529
Tennessee which is a very
small city and come into

00:22:44.530 --> 00:22:47.648
this big city was just
overwhelming you though and I

00:22:47.649 --> 00:22:51.860
didn\'t know no bad and I feel all
alone even though I am above

00:23:10.770 --> 00:23:13.314
all show at Mozilla.

00:23:13.315 --> 00:23:21.315
But I\'ll get used to this no I don\'t want
to go back I\'m not as happy as I want to be

00:23:23.560 --> 00:23:27.804
is because I don\'t know anybody
yet and it takes awhile

00:23:27.805 --> 00:23:32.168
to meet people and get friendly
and you just can\'t rush

00:23:32.169 --> 00:23:39.579
it you can\'t push it yes whom
I speak into yes Benny I\'m

00:23:39.580 --> 00:23:43.449
a senior citizen and I moved here
from Los you\'ve gotta be able to pick

00:23:43.450 --> 00:23:48.143
your friends you don\'t get friendly with
everybody program for senior citizens.

00:23:48.144 --> 00:23:54.399
He just socialize acquaintances or
friends you don\'t have too many friends.

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.113
Oh ice. So I\'ll choose.

00:23:57.114 --> 00:23:58.989
Who I\'m going to call my friend.

00:23:58.990 --> 00:24:04.068
Especially in a gambling town Alright
thank you with what you hours.

00:24:04.069 --> 00:24:08.010
Four o\'clock. Thank you ready.

00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:16.714
Anything that I didn\'t want to feel
I could stop feeling when a gamble.

00:24:16.715 --> 00:24:23.389
And that\'s pretty much how I
discovered the fun of gambling.

00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:27.858
Somewhere along the line it
stopped being a choice for me it

00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:30.168
just became the only thing I knew how to do

00:24:30.169 --> 00:24:33.664
I didn\'t have normal
responses to life anymore.

00:24:33.665 --> 00:24:38.329
You know if I was having a bad
day at work or I was upset about

00:24:38.330 --> 00:24:42.198
something at home or I just
was unsure of something in

00:24:42.199 --> 00:24:46.264
my life My first response
was to go gamble because

00:24:46.265 --> 00:24:50.688
somehow my brain associated
gambling as the solution to

00:24:50.689 --> 00:24:54.408
everything and once I reach that
point it wasn\'t really a choice

00:24:54.409 --> 00:24:58.309
anymore it just became an
instinct it was who I was

00:24:58.310 --> 00:25:03.498
and it was what I did but

00:25:03.499 --> 00:25:04.759
lately I\'ve been playing as

00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:09.588
a twenty-five dollar table because
that\'s the only way to make money.

00:25:09.589 --> 00:25:12.469
Big money but you\'ve got to take

00:25:12.470 --> 00:25:19.339
that chance as soon as you get some of
the casino\'s money you just increase

00:25:19.340 --> 00:25:22.218
your bet You stop Benton

00:25:22.219 --> 00:25:25.788
twenty-five dollars at a twenty-five
dollar game and if you get to a

00:25:25.789 --> 00:25:33.359
$300 of their money you up at the
$50 I\'m applying my 12 punch.

00:25:34.630 --> 00:25:37.998
I get to work or well we\'ve
gotta get a going you

00:25:37.999 --> 00:25:44.373
know there\'s times when I\'ve got a
100 and then I\'d bet too hungry.

00:25:44.374 --> 00:25:49.109
When I gamble I get more excited
when I\'m bitten heavier.

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:54.799
Unlike the buy-in 800
thousand and make sure I have

00:25:54.800 --> 00:26:00.018
ammunition in front of me some
people come to the table with a $100

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:03.139
they get four chips What
are you gonna do it for

00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:07.068
chips you can lose four heads
in a row that I get up and

00:26:07.069 --> 00:26:09.859
leave the table I stay there

00:26:09.860 --> 00:26:12.419
a weighted out

00:26:21.310 --> 00:26:22.729
edges

00:26:22.730 --> 00:26:25.473
forget about the Beatles
and the responsibilities.

00:26:25.474 --> 00:26:28.129
Because I will so in depth in sticking

00:26:28.130 --> 00:26:33.408
the money I\'m try to win money birthday
and I\'m trying to get their satisfaction

00:26:33.409 --> 00:26:37.459
that you\'d be trying to get
from that machine if it\'s

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:41.748
just nothing from the loneliness of not
knowing a lot of people on that being

00:26:41.749 --> 00:26:44.493
around people like you
would normally like to be

00:26:44.494 --> 00:26:47.629
You end up getting very lonely
especially when you\'ve been

00:26:47.630 --> 00:26:51.408
used to being involved with people in I
was the type of person used to be an

00:26:51.409 --> 00:26:56.628
evolved and hear that in nano battery
in it wasn\'t a lot of people.

00:26:56.629 --> 00:26:59.749
My age you know preferably

00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:05.989
my age the anew here most Eva battle
was my brother\'s age which he 65.

00:27:05.990 --> 00:27:09.769
And nobody I didn\'t know nobody\'s
older free they didn\'t do

00:27:09.770 --> 00:27:14.509
the things that dealing atmosphere
like our soda like left out

00:27:14.510 --> 00:27:17.269
and I will go to the
machines the machines were

00:27:17.270 --> 00:27:21.588
my happiness you know they were des
Wow it was take money and they

00:27:21.589 --> 00:27:27.528
because they will happen is ama lived our
feel good to wean And our feel good to

00:27:27.529 --> 00:27:35.089
lose that essay is like you in a daydream
with a haze of it why you gambling.

00:27:35.090 --> 00:27:37.309
Because you know you
couldn\'t move if you had

00:27:37.310 --> 00:27:40.579
some money but if you didn\'t
have no money you can

00:27:40.580 --> 00:27:44.688
move after you get out the door and you

00:27:44.689 --> 00:27:49.473
say well I didn\'t pay this and that
and pay there though I could go get.

00:27:49.474 --> 00:27:54.289
Oh African and Arab
spinach and again but I\'m

00:27:54.290 --> 00:27:58.998
a money away didn\'t you go into a
panic and when you see daylight

00:27:58.999 --> 00:28:02.673
you say God woke

00:28:02.674 --> 00:28:07.739
what amount do ness of units when you
go to try to fan somebody you can refer

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.208
I was in a pawn shop a
couple of months ago I upon

on a wedding ring wanting ban.

their eye tooth if they could it\'s
amazing what people do for a dollar.

What were you doing. While you were
there I ponder 50 peso gold coin.

00:28:44.070 --> 00:28:49.223

00:29:28.415 --> 00:29:30.069

00:30:10.340 --> 00:30:15.889

up behind me and he says do you just
throw that go back a $100 and I go.

00:30:19.144 --> 00:30:21.978
Well yeah I did and he goes I thought so I

00:30:21.979 --> 00:30:24.858

me back to $40 oh

00:30:45.574 --> 00:30:52.170
I can\'t simulate rumble

00:30:57.310 --> 00:31:01.398
I\'d lose five or $600 I\'d
hit my head up against

00:31:01.399 --> 00:31:06.469
the wall and have to make up that
money and tailoring and it\'s not

00:31:06.470 --> 00:31:10.458
easy for a lot of work to
put out to make five of

00:31:10.459 --> 00:31:18.459
$600 gets the bittersweet thing we want
to get tip we\'re going to make a living.

00:31:19.610 --> 00:31:22.038
I\'m not as judge to tell him
what to do or what not to

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:24.529
do but we did care about
some of these people because

00:31:24.530 --> 00:31:26.508
they were just got late into
the night they may have

00:31:26.509 --> 00:31:29.179
been drinking all night whatever
and they just didn\'t care

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:33.648
ATM machine is very handy ego and

00:31:33.649 --> 00:31:38.298
slanted down the loose lad the
overlay and you use Galatea hog you

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:43.249
continue When I\'m down with
27th about t and a toil

00:31:43.250 --> 00:31:48.648
withdraws from Arizona challenge
one day I\'m just cosine all day.

00:31:48.649 --> 00:31:53.658
Basically I was one of those just get
20 now cheapen the figure may mean you

00:31:53.659 --> 00:31:58.893
stick it in any say Insufficient
phones insufficient phones

00:31:58.894 --> 00:32:02.329
sit down and cry because
you get no money to pay

00:32:02.330 --> 00:32:06.019
these bills and you owe and
even provided that you Oh I was

00:32:06.020 --> 00:32:09.228
yam and up my money and when
my chase come in Abby Don

00:32:09.229 --> 00:32:13.919
wrote I will get now sufficient fans
farm because I am a man and a bank.

00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:20.974
Well one night I got really mad at
my girlfriend for no good reason

00:32:20.975 --> 00:32:24.768
and I just happen to have a
few drinks and I went out and

00:32:24.769 --> 00:32:29.508
I went out to the maximum hotel
and in my fit of rage I grab

00:32:29.509 --> 00:32:34.519
the cash and I don\'t know why whatever reason
but the point is that through in the trunk.

00:32:34.520 --> 00:32:37.668
So grabs money has gone out
and I had a good time and to

00:32:37.669 --> 00:32:40.698
the point where I was I wanted
$2 thousand and I was really up

00:32:40.699 --> 00:32:44.779
and the ego was flown and people were
behind me going oh hey go they\'ll

00:32:44.780 --> 00:32:49.009
go well then turned and
of course by that time

00:32:49.010 --> 00:32:53.208
I was plastered and I didn\'t
care I just went through

00:32:53.209 --> 00:32:57.438
the two grant at one I went through
a couple grand a had I rant I

00:32:57.439 --> 00:33:00.978
went back to my trunk of
my car and I got more of

00:33:00.979 --> 00:33:05.539
it I went through the whole I
went through $7 thousand I just I

00:33:05.540 --> 00:33:07.999
couldn\'t believe it it was the
chasing feeling just start

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.668
going and going and going I\'ve I\'ve
heard about it or read about it

00:33:10.669 --> 00:33:13.698
I\'ve seen it but now I
personally experienced it and it

00:33:13.699 --> 00:33:17.419
just blew me away that I
did that and so so it\'s

00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:20.149
long enough of the story that it\'s
not gonna come back to bite me now

00:33:20.150 --> 00:33:23.178
but the fact is that it
happened to me and in

00:33:23.179 --> 00:33:24.919
fact I even got a cotton
that is that the weird

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.958
thing I finally got to combine
them so they gave me a room

00:33:26.959 --> 00:33:29.614
and come to their agormate room so it cost

00:33:29.615 --> 00:33:33.829
$7 thousand for a room and comfort
for their fine dining room it\'s

00:33:33.830 --> 00:33:36.859
my understanding that video
poker is the game of

00:33:36.860 --> 00:33:41.973
choice with dealers these
days I don\'t gamble.

00:33:41.974 --> 00:33:46.219
I have my own addictions
that I\'ve dealt with but

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:51.708
I just don\'t happen to gamble
on but I do see telltale signs

00:33:51.709 --> 00:33:56.268
of of my co-workers they did
when they first they stop

00:33:56.269 --> 00:34:01.774
paying their taxes and their
living conditions go down

00:34:01.775 --> 00:34:05.160
it seems I have to lose before I went

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:13.203
two weeks ago I play 22 hours and
made 20 to $100 that biniones.

00:34:13.204 --> 00:34:21.204
Last week I worked at it at blackjack
at biniones 30 hours and I lost.

00:34:22.414 --> 00:34:30.414
So it seems the pattern is I have
to lose before I win Sometime I

00:34:33.019 --> 00:34:36.784
gambled on the days not
knowing when to stop

00:34:36.785 --> 00:34:42.679
tired sleepy I start
feeling sorry for myself

00:34:42.680 --> 00:34:49.654
that I could have done this with the money
I could do that with the money I just

00:34:49.655 --> 00:34:57.300
feel sorry for myself I get over it
because there\'s always a next time

00:35:16.900 --> 00:35:24.900
Thirty seven percent of

00:35:27.379 --> 00:35:33.424
high school I was a single mom

00:35:33.425 --> 00:35:41.029
and I really just ceased to be there my
children suffered a great deal of neglect.

00:35:41.030 --> 00:35:43.728
Due to the time and the energy
that was going into gambling

00:35:43.729 --> 00:35:46.848
and again I didn\'t
actually have to be gone I

00:35:46.849 --> 00:35:50.073
withdrew emotionally
without even realizing it

00:35:50.074 --> 00:35:54.108
because I just didn\'t have that much
energy to give any more My children were

00:35:54.109 --> 00:36:01.864
not grown at that time they found themselves
literally having to fend for themselves.

00:36:01.865 --> 00:36:06.079
I would leave at night
when my children were in

00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:11.179
bed and not tell them I was leaving and be
gone all night long and then in the morning.

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:15.289
Where before I would race home to try and
get home before the kids had to get up and

00:36:15.290 --> 00:36:19.593
go to school in the morning I\'d be calling
my children from the casino or from the bar.

00:36:19.594 --> 00:36:22.279
Giving them instructions
on how to get ready for

00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.129
school and what to have for
breakfast and they basically became

00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:33.130
latchkey kids 24 hours a day and that blow
they bought a home For us in Washington heels.

00:36:33.164 --> 00:36:41.058
My daily gamble the house away how exactly
I don\'t know but I lose to gambling.

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:46.399
Years came on when it is
no house anymore it was

00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:52.323
a lot of tears my day with him but he
will sit there Delhi Laos did our bay.

00:36:52.324 --> 00:36:56.959
As seen as merchants valve
$6 thousand sometimes

00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:01.879
more on the table you notice right there
in front of him when he was broke.

00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.179
He would give it made him feel like he was

00:37:05.180 --> 00:37:10.949
more at ease with himself after he
didn\'t have that money in front of him

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:35.539
Twelve forty years ago the Hunt brothers
tried to coin the silver market.

00:37:35.540 --> 00:37:40.578
I could have made $20 thousand
the first week and the following

00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:45.619
week it started cutting down
down down from 40 to 50 down

00:37:45.620 --> 00:37:50.208
to $10.80 I could\'ve lost everything at

00:37:50.209 --> 00:37:55.433
that time that I bought some more
silver to average out I bought it

00:37:55.434 --> 00:37:59.949
on module and every time it
goes down you have to get

00:37:59.950 --> 00:38:04.629
up more money I kept getting
module calls with silver would

00:38:04.630 --> 00:38:11.378
go down a $100.2 thousand dollars I
just kept sending in money sending and

00:38:11.379 --> 00:38:19.379
money that i sub L with it 85
thousand I found gambling exciting.

00:38:20.169 --> 00:38:23.889
After I lost all the money
I had saved my life

00:38:23.890 --> 00:38:29.919
it\'s it\'s silly for me
to say now a few bucks

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.170
ahead you go out and try your luck

00:38:39.990 --> 00:38:43.479
Lot of people they get to Proust
they all sudden say gee if

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:46.058
I win the jackpot I\'ll solve all
my problems I can pay my rent I

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:50.109
can do this I can do that and it\'s just a
lie it\'s just one more lie that people

00:38:50.110 --> 00:38:54.338
don\'t realize that they\'re
being trapped into do you

00:38:54.339 --> 00:38:56.679
think people that don\'t live in Las Vegas
I have an idea what it is they don\'t

00:38:56.680 --> 00:38:59.199
know they don\'t know they think it\'s

00:38:59.200 --> 00:39:05.618
cheerful place and that\'s all there is to it
drink and gambling and music entertainment.

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:07.913
There he had to have a good time.

00:39:07.914 --> 00:39:12.429
They\'d do their thing and they go
home they don\'t know how the people

00:39:12.430 --> 00:39:18.384
living that lost their money and what they\'re
doing to survive they don\'t see them.

00:39:18.385 --> 00:39:23.738
Pick and fluid out of the garbage
Some gamba was lose everything they

00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:28.208
have but they managed to gamble
one way or the other they

00:39:28.209 --> 00:39:33.503
managed to raise money to gamble with
even if they have to go without eating.

00:39:33.504 --> 00:39:41.504
Just so they take another shot myself I\'ve
not been in the drug thing but I\'ve had

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:47.499
children that were drug
addicts and I\'ve been through

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:53.439
all their programs and goblin is just like

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:56.978
crack cocaine to me there\'s

00:39:56.979 --> 00:40:01.674
my own personal opinion because
I\'ve seen what it did to my girls

00:40:01.675 --> 00:40:07.339
and It did the same thing to me
gambling did the same thing to

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:13.114
me I was addicted I couldn\'t sleep or
eat without going somewhere to gamble.

00:40:13.115 --> 00:40:16.159
I knew at some point that
I had a problem simply

00:40:16.160 --> 00:40:19.534
because at some point I
didn\'t want to do it anymore

00:40:19.535 --> 00:40:22.849
and no amount of my effort seem to

00:40:22.850 --> 00:40:27.633
change what happened and I would tell
myself I\'m not going to gamble tonight.

00:40:27.634 --> 00:40:30.889
And at five minutes to midnight
and I\'d be getting in the car.

00:40:30.890 --> 00:40:35.778
Breaking my my own boundary again
map-based fantasy was to go and play

00:40:35.779 --> 00:40:40.699
bingo bingo bingo I always

00:40:40.700 --> 00:40:46.174
say Oh I\'ve just gone ammo imitate
me a crossword puzzle Today.

00:40:46.175 --> 00:40:50.059
So I won\'t go downstairs and play the
machine that hour they give me didn\'t

00:40:50.060 --> 00:40:54.738
that\'s in between the
names bingo session but

00:40:54.739 --> 00:40:59.209
it never worked I know for me I
could have gotten more money I

00:40:59.210 --> 00:41:03.739
know I had another creative story
I could\'ve told there were

00:41:03.740 --> 00:41:07.218
certainly other things I
hadn\'t done yet illegal things

00:41:07.219 --> 00:41:10.818
that I had actually thought about
doing so money wasn\'t what

00:41:10.819 --> 00:41:17.058
made me decide it was over what really
pushed me to the end was having won

00:41:17.059 --> 00:41:23.523
the money and in the span of less than
four hours Losing all that money back.

00:41:23.524 --> 00:41:26.403
Knowing I hadn\'t eviction
notice on my door.

00:41:26.404 --> 00:41:31.039
Knowing I was unemployed for
the third time that year.

00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:35.089
Knowing I didn\'t have really
any options left I didn\'t

00:41:35.090 --> 00:41:38.628
know where else to turn to solve
the problems in my life and

00:41:38.629 --> 00:41:43.549
yet I couldn\'t go home with the
money and by the time I got

00:41:43.550 --> 00:41:48.619
home and I was broke again the reality hit

00:41:48.620 --> 00:41:52.218
me that I had lost more than money I really

00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:56.568
believed I had lost my mind I
had become everything that

00:41:56.569 --> 00:42:00.198
I despised and other people
I was lying I was stealing

00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.713
money I was I was being
irresponsible is apparent I

00:42:04.714 --> 00:42:09.154
was not being true to my own
moral and religious beliefs

00:42:09.155 --> 00:42:11.839
and yet I couldn\'t stop it and when I reach

00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.288
that point that I said
Something\'s gotta give.

00:42:15.289 --> 00:42:18.468
I just decided I couldn\'t be in
saying the rest of my life I wasn\'t

00:42:18.469 --> 00:42:21.408
willing to live that way and frankly at

00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:24.798
that point I was just too tired
I was exhausted mentally I was

00:42:24.799 --> 00:42:29.343
exhausted physically I I had
been not eating not sleeping.

00:42:29.344 --> 00:42:32.898
I\'d been unemployed for I can\'t
even remember how long I

00:42:32.899 --> 00:42:36.094
had lost so much to gambling that
didn\'t have anything to lose.

00:42:36.095 --> 00:42:40.103
Except my mind and I really
believe that head loss that too.

00:42:40.104 --> 00:42:43.188
And so I decided if I didn\'t
want to wake up crazy

00:42:43.189 --> 00:42:45.678
every morning for the rest of
my life I just wasn\'t going to

00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:51.024
wake up And I picked up the phone
and I called a friend of mine.

00:42:51.025 --> 00:42:53.603
Who I hoped.

00:42:53.604 --> 00:42:57.068
Having heard a really
heart-rending story from me.

00:42:57.069 --> 00:43:00.009
Would somehow acquire a
bottle of tranquilizers for

00:43:00.010 --> 00:43:03.818
me and I fully intended to take them all as

00:43:03.819 --> 00:43:07.088
one dose and fortunately for

00:43:07.089 --> 00:43:12.098
me the gentlemen that I called was aware
of my gambling had seen they gamble.

00:43:12.099 --> 00:43:14.768
And his response to me was well
you know I think you really

00:43:14.769 --> 00:43:17.558
need to quit gambling and I said but you

00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.228
don\'t understand you don\'t
understand and he cut

00:43:20.229 --> 00:43:24.079
me off and he said Of course I
understand I\'m a compulsive gambler.

00:43:24.270 --> 00:43:27.713
And from that I was able
to get another option.

00:43:27.714 --> 00:43:30.288
He told me where I could call Find

00:43:30.289 --> 00:43:34.218
a support group how I could make
a decision other than to kill

00:43:34.219 --> 00:43:37.998
myself and when I look back at all of

00:43:37.999 --> 00:43:42.588
the things that I did the things that
were horrible throughout my gambling.

00:43:42.589 --> 00:43:45.199
I can honestly say the only
thing that still scares me

00:43:45.200 --> 00:43:49.649
today is to wonder what would have
happened if I call it a different friend

00:43:58.870 --> 00:44:03.558
interested in exploring some other options
that you\'re getting some I\'m not ready

00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:09.004
yet I\'m not ready to meet strange people

00:44:09.005 --> 00:44:15.429
sometimes want to be left alone Demonstrate

00:44:15.430 --> 00:44:19.959
runs allowed me to miss your friends

00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:25.789

family my sisters my brothers.

always been able to do things that you
wanna do map you can make it through.

00:47:28.834 --> 00:47:34.488
Remember what you always told us If you
have as much faith as a mustard see you can

00:47:34.489 --> 00:47:41.299
make really basic questions if

00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:44.719
you\'re borrowing money to gamble you\'ve
got a problem Social gamblers don\'t do

00:47:44.720 --> 00:47:48.379
that period they don\'t change money from
accounts they don\'t take money on credit cards.

00:47:48.380 --> 00:47:51.769
They don\'t shuffle money
from one system to another

00:47:51.770 --> 00:47:55.798
if you miss activities if you\'re
late for activities because

00:47:55.799 --> 00:47:58.398
again you\'ve got a problem
social gamers don\'t do

00:47:58.399 --> 00:48:05.598
that social gamers consistently get
excited about gambling or have

00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:08.299
fun or divert themselves
but they know where they

00:48:08.300 --> 00:48:11.089
are and what time it is and
where the kids are and if

00:48:11.090 --> 00:48:13.069
they\'re in the middle of a hot
crap game but they\'ve got

00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:18.093
eight o\'clock show reservations they\'re going
to be at the show My patients don\'t do that

00:48:18.094 --> 00:48:20.839
my patients sound a lot
like Alcoholics kind of in

00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.689
a blackout state they really don\'t
know what time it is and they

00:48:23.690 --> 00:48:25.998
really don\'t remember where the
kids aren\'t it\'s not that they

00:48:25.999 --> 00:48:28.518
don\'t love the kids and it\'s
not that they don\'t want

00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.399
to be at the show something very different

00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:35.359
happens or we\'ll call it 5% in Las
Vegas and number\'s a little over

00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:37.369
6% actually but for

00:48:37.370 --> 00:48:40.789
roughly 5% of the people that gamble
it\'s a whole different phenomenon and

00:48:40.790 --> 00:48:43.039
it doesn\'t have much to
do with fun or money

00:48:43.040 --> 00:48:47.369
or socialization it really
does have to do with escape

00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.663
The hardest part of living in Las Vegas.

00:49:03.664 --> 00:49:08.879
Is the gambling machines because
they\'re gambling machines everywhere.

00:49:10.690 --> 00:49:14.688
Hello okay how long it\'s been
reduced down again a good BV

00:49:14.689 --> 00:49:17.838
years there you can get so stressed out

00:49:17.839 --> 00:49:23.358
about a Beall or Southern is going wrong
in your life and you tend to want to

00:49:23.359 --> 00:49:29.929
gamble that death data come through
your man you rab bag senior Wallace.

00:49:30.460 --> 00:49:37.219
I a lot of friends when I was
gambler buses along gamma you sorta

00:49:37.220 --> 00:49:44.089
lose those free because
the way you like Oh tag.

00:49:44.090 --> 00:49:47.658
Though to the sad. So they don\'t want to

00:49:47.659 --> 00:49:51.198
have anything diligent Lucas they\'re
fine is gambling and you don\'t

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.579
do it so they don\'t want to hand that

00:49:52.580 --> 00:49:54.090
the medulla

00:50:12.430 --> 00:50:14.119
gambling

00:50:14.120 --> 00:50:14.359
is

00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:18.753
Very much a part of life here
nobody really notices it anymore.

00:50:18.754 --> 00:50:22.218
So being the person in the group
on Friday night who doesn\'t

00:50:22.219 --> 00:50:27.709
gamble Sometimes requires some explanation
sometimes it can be very awkward.

00:50:27.710 --> 00:50:30.019
Much like I\'m sure it\'s
awkward for an alcoholic to

00:50:30.020 --> 00:50:33.739
explain why he\'s not
drinking the wine at dinner.

00:50:33.740 --> 00:50:36.858
It\'s a question of making a
decision to do what I have to

00:50:36.859 --> 00:50:44.329
do at a made

00:50:44.330 --> 00:50:49.110

bill is like saying I can\'t afford to pay

00:51:20.299 --> 00:51:23.718

00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:27.409

time to do this I will pay

00:51:27.410 --> 00:51:31.848

00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:44.808
Okay there\'s ten for
control or 21 or 321 or

00:51:44.809 --> 00:51:49.638
three Thank

00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:55.264
you I\'m a recovering alcoholic.

00:51:55.265 --> 00:51:58.564
I\'ve been. As we say clean and sober.

00:51:58.565 --> 00:52:03.079
For almost 14 years they

00:52:03.080 --> 00:52:07.864
tried to start a GA meeting at the Mirage
but you just can\'t hold it in a casino.

00:52:07.865 --> 00:52:12.199
But my name is fairly freely given out to

00:52:12.200 --> 00:52:17.148
hotel employees that express a concern
or a problem and it\'s my way of

00:52:17.149 --> 00:52:21.108
being able to be in service I\'m

00:52:21.109 --> 00:52:23.179
the Executive Director
of the Nevada Council on

00:52:23.180 --> 00:52:26.869
problem gambling and we are
a non-profit agency who

00:52:26.870 --> 00:52:33.069
promote education and awareness about Problem
Gambling A few years ago we finally got

00:52:33.070 --> 00:52:36.548
the attention of the gaming
industry they finally had

00:52:36.549 --> 00:52:40.509
taken an interest for their own reasons and
really learning something about this problem.

00:52:40.510 --> 00:52:44.109
So we were able to completely reorganize in

00:52:44.110 --> 00:52:49.899
November of 1998 the Nevada Gaming Commission
adopted a regulation that requires

00:52:49.900 --> 00:52:54.369
the casinos to train their gaming employees
as a result of that regulation of

00:52:54.370 --> 00:52:59.258
course we now have a great
demand for training programs on

00:52:59.259 --> 00:53:02.288
the individual the family and

00:53:02.289 --> 00:53:06.128
the coworkers isn\'t it there because if the
casinos didn\'t do this we wouldn\'t have

00:53:06.129 --> 00:53:10.089
the province kinda their fault that they what
about the cocktail waitress was at the Rio

00:53:10.090 --> 00:53:16.039
and my patients would gamble If the casinos
move the machines out into the parking lot.

00:53:16.040 --> 00:53:19.608
Only turned them on during windstorms
and the cochlea waitresses

00:53:19.609 --> 00:53:22.999
spit in the coffee my guys would
still be out in the book they are

00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.699
not there because of the cochlea
waitresses uniforms or how

00:53:25.700 --> 00:53:28.699
friendly to staff is or
what color the the carpet

00:53:28.700 --> 00:53:31.698
is that\'s not what driving it might
patients are gambling because they want

00:53:31.699 --> 00:53:35.239
to get out of themselves and when
they gamble they\'re somewhere else.

00:53:35.240 --> 00:53:38.043
Yeah I love gambling.

00:53:38.044 --> 00:53:46.044
I admitted. It\'s in my blood can help it
how is it in your blind. I love to gamble.

00:53:46.390 --> 00:53:53.584
I\'ll never forget what my brother Tommy 25
years ago that I\'m a compulsive gambling.

00:53:53.585 --> 00:54:01.585
He\'s right Yeah I said that the somebody in

00:54:03.849 --> 00:54:11.849
backfired and got to me here\'s a picture
of Dolly taken at the studio and

00:54:13.090 --> 00:54:20.198
about 1945 and another picture of
Dolly and a Baden suit I made for

00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:24.248
her lipid velvet is

00:54:24.249 --> 00:54:31.520
G beautiful Dolly was my one and only.

00:54:31.680 --> 00:54:37.388
I went with her about three
years and then moved out to

00:54:37.389 --> 00:54:44.164
California And she told me that I\'ll always
send you a birthday card or a Christmas card.

00:54:44.165 --> 00:54:52.158
Until you tell me to stop and

00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:57.168
after awhile I stopped writing to
her because I figured well she was

00:54:57.169 --> 00:55:02.580
3 thousand miles away no use
continuing that relationship.

00:55:02.710 --> 00:55:10.488
So one day see she surprised me
came out here to visit me and I

00:55:10.489 --> 00:55:17.869
took her over to meet my mother she has Dolly
outcome you and Lou never got married.

00:55:17.870 --> 00:55:24.409
She\'s a little wasn\'t persistent enough
And the reason why it wasn\'t persistent.

00:55:24.410 --> 00:55:28.339
Is because she told me you
come from a big family.

00:55:28.340 --> 00:55:31.579
Ten children and I don\'t think I\'ll be

00:55:31.580 --> 00:55:34.804
strong enough to give you children
if we haven\'t got married.

00:55:34.805 --> 00:55:38.284
So that\'s why I wasn\'t persistent.

00:55:38.285 --> 00:55:43.279
That\'s the end of that story then can

00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:46.429
you can you take charcoal

00:55:46.430 --> 00:55:51.933
from I think I\'m probably more
honest with my kids about gambling.

00:55:51.934 --> 00:55:54.259
If you\'re an adult and
it\'s legal for you to

00:55:54.260 --> 00:55:56.658
gamble I certainly am not
going to tell someone that

00:55:56.659 --> 00:55:59.928
can\'t be gambling in my
home I would like to think

00:55:59.929 --> 00:56:03.288
though that it would be a matter
of respect and that people

00:56:03.289 --> 00:56:07.098
would figure that this is not the most likely
place that we should be having a game of

00:56:07.099 --> 00:56:13.324
cards there\'s an attitude
that gambling is only

00:56:13.325 --> 00:56:15.738
going into the casino and
that is something that I

00:56:15.739 --> 00:56:18.289
should be concerned about
but gambling really for

00:56:18.290 --> 00:56:21.318
kids usually starts young
it starts maybe between

00:56:21.319 --> 00:56:25.998
1315 usually starts actually in the
home that\'s the kind of gambling kids

00:56:25.999 --> 00:56:28.428
learn about sitting
around playing cards with

00:56:28.429 --> 00:56:31.338

that and make some money It\'s a job.

00:57:53.510 --> 00:57:55.984
Going to gamble gamble.

00:57:55.985 --> 00:58:01.548
It\'s like any other job it\'s
hard work it\'s not easy it\'s not

00:58:01.549 --> 00:58:09.549
easy you have to put up with all
the other people at the table.

00:58:10.235 --> 00:58:16.350
Some of them a drug some of them clowning
throwing their money away right nobody would

00:58:20.380 --> 00:58:23.478
they just as well write out a check that

00:58:23.479 --> 00:58:25.728
Jack opinions that are gambling
because they don\'t know what

00:58:25.729 --> 00:58:31.279
they\'re doing but I blocked
everybody out it\'s just me and

00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:39.280
the dealer You go

00:58:39.909 --> 00:58:41.859
through some bad times you know.

00:58:41.860 --> 00:58:45.098
Usually you know when you
gamble the the worst thing you

00:58:45.099 --> 00:58:48.758
can do is change your losses.
That\'s what I did.

00:58:48.759 --> 00:58:53.768
Now I have certain amount of money I
gamble with let\'s dive learn to be more of

00:58:53.769 --> 00:58:59.483
a recreational gambler and
I enjoy sports betting.

00:58:59.484 --> 00:59:04.178
And probably moneyman friends is the
most important thing in gambling

00:59:04.179 --> 00:59:09.669
and I do it as a recreation and
saw someone therapy I love to

00:59:09.670 --> 00:59:13.958
shoot craps but diagonal do
too often because it\'s too

00:59:13.959 --> 00:59:18.378
tough and yeah that took it My son is

00:59:18.379 --> 00:59:20.298
almost ten my data she\'s going to be

00:59:20.299 --> 00:59:24.319
nine and also what can I say so
I got to future we\'re thinking

00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:27.348
about the kids do and plus one you
are in the business you can that

00:59:27.349 --> 00:59:30.679
go gamble pseudo lady when I
heard your business and you

00:59:30.680 --> 00:59:32.779
go low even if the bankruptcy you\'re out of

00:59:32.780 --> 00:59:37.954
business it\'s very difficult to
gamble and took him next day to work.

00:59:37.955 --> 00:59:39.924
Number 38 years she would\'ve been

00:59:39.925 --> 00:59:43.519
12 the biggest mistake is tsunami
in Galilee but in life itself.

00:59:43.520 --> 00:59:46.458
Money management and discipline I played

00:59:46.459 --> 00:59:50.743
when I don\'t place geared in a bite
was like shopping I\'ll go work too

00:59:50.744 --> 00:59:52.728
but I\'m a good money manager
and I have a lot of

00:59:52.729 --> 01:00:00.698
discipline The only people

01:00:00.699 --> 01:00:03.503
who really do go with a gambling
or the big owners of the casinos.

01:00:03.504 --> 01:00:06.609
If somebody has assessment beat
them they\'re going to change

01:00:06.610 --> 01:00:13.688
the rules I think there\'s a good that
you know if this game was played.

01:00:13.689 --> 01:00:18.984
Last week I think we\'d be fine you get seven
points that I think tends to bargain.

01:00:18.985 --> 01:00:23.378
Let\'s have a good weekend and
I\'ll talk to you on the rebound

01:00:23.379 --> 01:00:28.928
but as far as I know if I

01:00:28.929 --> 01:00:34.553
count what I had played in the
last year or so I\'m a big loser.

01:00:34.554 --> 01:00:38.739
Sorry I can\'t give you any better
advice than that there are

01:00:38.740 --> 01:00:43.203
many stories about people winning
lots of money Don\'t believe them

01:00:43.204 --> 01:00:46.399
now the problem is there are people that

01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:49.728
when they\'re awesome people here that
when the thousands of dollars at

01:00:49.729 --> 01:00:52.939
a shot but you never hear
the other half of it

01:00:52.940 --> 01:00:58.219
the other half is how much did they lose
before they won the big stake that they got.

01:00:58.220 --> 01:01:01.578
I think social dealers
really think a lot of

01:01:01.579 --> 01:01:04.624
that money and I and I think they\'re
purchasing little bits of dreams

01:01:04.625 --> 01:01:07.879
renting dreams we called it
they buy a lottery ticket and

01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:11.298
they picture themselves on a Caribbean
island of my peace I thinks it\'s

01:01:11.299 --> 01:01:14.584
for care but they don\'t
think of it in terms of

01:01:14.585 --> 01:01:18.469
actual dollars it\'s not you
know this is a TV or this is

01:01:18.470 --> 01:01:22.999
a Chevrolet or this is my son\'s
college And it\'s just this

01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:27.529
is a unit that will allow X
amount of action when you see

01:01:27.530 --> 01:01:30.289
people come to Vegas you know
they\'re not coming here to

01:01:30.290 --> 01:01:33.138
be the accountant from
Omaha and they\'re coming

01:01:33.139 --> 01:01:37.398
here to be whoever they want to
be to have the fun that that

01:01:37.399 --> 01:01:42.018
this this whole environment attracts
them to the social gambit goes

01:01:42.019 --> 01:01:45.303
back home and goes back to
being that accountant and

01:01:45.304 --> 01:01:49.158
continues their life in a healthy
way the problem gamblers always

01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:52.069
moving away from that reality and
that\'s where the danger comes

01:01:52.070 --> 01:01:56.853
in the fifth stage only Hawaii and
Utah in the United States you have no.

01:01:56.854 --> 01:02:01.023
Type of him every other state has
a choice rationing and being old

01:02:01.024 --> 01:02:06.759
or lotteries or whatever
Vegas preimage built

01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:07.929
the infrastructure along with

01:02:07.930 --> 01:02:11.529
the gambling industry and these other areas
or just getting it now they never had

01:02:11.530 --> 01:02:13.703
experienced all the
things that are about to

01:02:13.704 --> 01:02:17.394
experience our bankruptcies
robbery prostitution.

01:02:17.395 --> 01:02:20.243
It\'s going to come with that
gambling is not quote quote

01:02:20.244 --> 01:02:22.749
a clean business you know when
you\'re going out and taking

01:02:22.750 --> 01:02:25.839
something from the ground and you put it
in a factory and you sell it on a shelf.

01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:28.689
Those basic production gone
there\'s an actual value in

01:02:28.690 --> 01:02:31.869
that product the gambling industry
produces nothing but Entertainment.

01:02:31.870 --> 01:02:34.839
When I look at little towns that are not

01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:37.028
destination resorts and
I\'m not not going to

01:02:37.029 --> 01:02:39.968
have there\'s a lot of
pleasant little places but

01:02:39.969 --> 01:02:42.788
they\'re not places that people travel
to spend a week and then travel

01:02:42.789 --> 01:02:45.998
home in those towns when
I come initially and

01:02:45.999 --> 01:02:48.468
speak and then come back a year
or two later It doesn\'t look

01:02:48.469 --> 01:02:50.958
like gambling helps those towns it
looks like the dry cleaner goes

01:02:50.959 --> 01:02:53.688
out of business and the bowling
alley goes out of business because

01:02:53.689 --> 01:02:56.449
they are not bringing new
dollars to town it\'s not money

01:02:56.450 --> 01:02:59.088
from somewhere else initially
Yeah there\'s a big rush when

01:02:59.089 --> 01:03:01.729
a place first opens people drive
three hundred four hundred miles to

01:03:01.730 --> 01:03:07.488
see it but as soon as the novelties off to the
industry is dependent on the towns people.

01:03:07.489 --> 01:03:09.469
So it doesn\'t mean new
money comes in at means

01:03:09.470 --> 01:03:12.229
the existing money goes into somebody
else\'s pocket and there\'s there\'s not

01:03:12.230 --> 01:03:14.419
money left to do the things
that they used to do so

01:03:14.420 --> 01:03:17.658
that that part of it
doesn\'t make sense to me.

01:03:17.659 --> 01:03:20.419
People feel like him better
than themselves and take

01:03:20.420 --> 01:03:23.628
a chance It\'s a land of
opportunity but there\'s a lot of

01:03:23.629 --> 01:03:27.034
better gambles like Yay not the stock
market and other commodities but

01:03:27.035 --> 01:03:31.800
gamble to go into business and
make success out of yourself.

01:03:34.030 --> 01:03:37.654
My grandfather probably
was the best gambler.

01:03:37.655 --> 01:03:39.874
Of all he came here from Russia.

01:03:39.875 --> 01:03:41.899
During the turn of the century
and whenever purged into

01:03:41.900 --> 01:03:45.409
Jewish and he he must have had ten kids.

01:03:45.410 --> 01:03:50.448
No money nothing and he took a chance and
he was very successful and thank God for

01:03:50.449 --> 01:03:53.569
my my grandparents
otherwise I\'d be in Russia

01:03:53.570 --> 01:03:58.260
and we\'d never have them wonderful
leverage we have your God bless America

01:04:08.590 --> 01:04:11.029
I\'ll never go broke.

01:04:11.030 --> 01:04:17.820
Never allows managed to
make a buck stealing.

01:04:18.790 --> 01:04:22.800
Not joking just joking just joking.

01:04:23.410 --> 01:04:29.613
Yeah he\'s right here I\'m not
afraid to work I mean you know.

01:04:29.614 --> 01:04:34.379
Got my ten fingers. I got a trade.

01:04:34.630 --> 01:04:42.630
I go broke at work People come here to win
meant ends at a teeny spake to heat one of

01:04:45.590 --> 01:04:49.819

Isn\'t that bit simple.

01:05:02.560 --> 01:05:08.298
A young man that I worked with the
graduated from Harvard and he\'s spent

01:05:08.299 --> 01:05:10.878
his entire college career
explaining to his classmates that

01:05:10.879 --> 01:05:14.314
his mother was not a show girl
because he grew up in Las Vegas.

01:05:14.315 --> 01:05:18.708
We really don\'t have neon on
our houses we don\'t live in

01:05:18.709 --> 01:05:23.419

place cells it\'s just in Las Vegas.

The wealthiest man in the world but

a little more than I used there I\'m
still recovering from the depth.

01:06:21.515 --> 01:06:29.515
Over $20 thousand worth of debt and it
doesn\'t mean they got wiped up or wave

01:06:31.339 --> 01:06:35.299
