I've only be in a casino once in my life. I lost $100 in about an hour and said screw this and left. I went to the bar and drank instead.

This guy pumped $127 million back into the economy. We should be thanking him.

Riiigghhtt... Casinos are known for keeping that money flowing in the community, and not on Japanese hoes and blow, rite??
