Slot machines can be
addictive, that is no secret anymore. It is the responsibility of the
player to learn self and financial discipline so that the game does not
get the better of you. Stories of problem gamblers that go through
extreme lengths in order to alleviate slot machines of their jackpots
are not rare, but every once in a while stories on this topic grab the
attention and send a warning to gamblers everywhere.
Most people do not have
millions to blow on slot machines but the Chinese woman in this story
from Zhejiang provice is a self proclaimed billionaire. In a matter of
three months this slots obsessed woman dumped HK 53 million into the
slot machines at Wynn Macau.
The whole thing started when
an employee at the casino gave the woman a tip on a loose slot machine
on the gaming floor. In only three days the woman managed to drop HK 13
million into the machine without hitting a jackpot. This is enough of a
disaster for a rich gambler, let alone the average gambler, but the
woman’s compulsion to hit the elusive jackpot persisted.
On the Lunar New Year, the
woman returned to the casino with her friends and family. This time she
chose to make an extended stay at the casino in order to focus on the
one slot machine. HK 40 million later she still had no luck at the
machine.
At this point desperation
took hold of the woman; she was determined to hit a jackpot, now just to
recover her losses – always a poor strategy – she intended to play 20
slot machines at the same time in hopes of spreading her luck around.
The casino manager refused her wishes and asked the woman and her
friends to leave the casino.
