Quite often , when something of consequence happens close to you , it has a big effect .
When I was at the Ford dealer , a customer camein ....Italian fellow who had won about $125k on the Super Jumbo Slot machine that is apparently tied into other casinos in some way . It was $5 per pull and the guy hit the jackpot after only 3 or 4 pulls . I sold him a new Mustang ...total about $25k with taxes . When I saw him about a year later , I was told that he had put the remaining $100k BACK INTO THE MACHINE at the Casino . Atleast he got the car out of it . Casinos get a huge % as it is and I suspect a lot of people put winnings back instead of going home .
Retirees / widows are a hard hit group .....they're bored , go to the casino , and spend their whole pension in many cases .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
