casino

I don’t watch too much reality TV… but I was a little Olympicked out so I was flipping channels and stopped at Casino. It shows the inside stories of people who work at, and play at the Golden Nugget Casino. It was pretty disturbing… they showed one gambling addict and the length to which he was addicted. It was brutal. He has been gambling for close to a decade… when he told his wife he was at work, he was really at the casino. He has lost BIG money… Ever other scene was him at the pawn shop… the final thing he sold was his wedding ring…They then showed his wife (and their daughter) on the phone with Gambling Addiction Doctor… Creepy.
