What guy is that? The guy that posts their idiotic opinion without even watching the video, or too stupid to understand what he is watching?Hate to be THAT guy but 1.28 is not OVER 2 million, it's UNDER 2 million.
I don't think its about selling hope, well maybe to inveterate gamblers but many people like the vibe as you said - casinos are carefully designed places to make people spend money. She probably likes the sounds/sights like I was when I was younger at video gaming arcades..............
My Grandmother loved Casino environments, and I never understood why, what was the allure? She wasnt a bored wealthy person, former celebrity, or whatever. She just liked the vibe of the environment, and bought j to the scam of selling hope.

Depends how wealthy you are. Those places are equally filled with bored rich housewives, as they are desperate folks thinking they're gonna strike it rich. I imagine winning at the slots is akin to knocking out Ken with Ryu in "Street Fighter", to the people who don't have to give a fuck.Without the hope that you'll come away with more money than you came in with, its just a more boring arcade. Gambling is always about hope.

One of the excuses they are using is that a Gaming company owns the slot machines, not the Casino itself, but the Casino and the Gaming Company have the same owners (3:30 minutes in).The machine "malfunctioned". Okay. How is that her fault?
Pay the lady what she's owed. Scumbags.
Obviously you hope to walk out with more than you walked in with, but most gamblers know that's not going to happen regularly. I think most people who gamble regularly do it because it's fun. It's just another form of entertainment - when I go to a casino I know I'm going to drop a couple hundred dollars, the same as if I went to watch a sporting event.Without the hope that you'll come away with more money than you came in with, its just a more boring arcade.

That's not thorough. He had the dealer rotate cards, implying a superstition, to aid in the identification. By law, this is a blatant interference in the game, knowingly or unknowingly. The law appears to have been upheld well here. If he'd done it without using the dealer to help identify the cards I'm sure he'd have been clear.That's what they said about numerous other similar cases and the casino didn't pay out. People still kept going - most likely because it's the closest casino location to them.
This reminds me of the case of Phil Ivey winning 7.7 million at a UK casino. He was able to read a defect in the actual cards and win millions. It's not his fault the cards had a defect.

The machines malfunctioned in what way? They awarded 100 winners on the same day?
Someone winning a jackpot isn't a malfunction WTF
Sure it is. They likely prey on those people more, because they don't give a shit and just throw their money away. Most aren't addicts. They're just people with money to spend, looking for a high. If you're going to a casino in the first place, chances are that you have a decent amount of disposable income to gamble with. They're not preying on down and out folks who go in there with $50 to their name, hoping to strike it rich. That's just gravy to them.I dont think the people who can just drop a few dollars in entertainment and leave are their target clientele.
I agree but I'm generally ok with low stakes blackjack too since you have some control over the outcome by observing the cards that have been played since the last shuffle/shoe.That’s why I only play poker at casinos. One of the few games you’re not playing against the house.
