    had a laugh at 9:30

    the lady who plays slots 10 hrs a day loses her husband (yes, unfortunate)

    The casino throws her a memorial! Oh praise them. I'm sure they are good hearted and that came only out of kindness. Ha....

    I watched the whole thing. Really enjoyed it.

    Louis Theroux has the ability to ask some difficult questions without pissing off the other person. Not sure how he pulls it off, but he does.

    Class creation from Louis. He neatly and expertly captures the gambler's pathetic delusion of winning - tables or slots - offset with the predatory cunning of the casino with its sweet-talkin, sweet-smilin employee hosts/sharks, as they manage the prey. "My job is to keep him at the tables, whether he's winning or losing." LOL

    Great documentary. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm grateful to these high rollers for keeping the casinos in business.
