00:01Honey.

00:03Honey.

00:05Don't bother me.

00:06Honey, come on.

00:08Listen.

00:10Are you out of your mind?

00:12You're sick!

00:15Hey!

00:16You're lost. Try again.

00:18I've lost because of you!

00:20Really, because of me?

00:21Have you seen yourself, really?

00:23It's not you anymore.

00:25This game has changed you completely, Yanni.

00:27You know what? That's enough of me.

00:31Enough!

00:33Claire!

00:34You're an addict!

00:38Gonna win and she'll be back.

00:41By the way, you might win, but you will never earn.

00:47No matter how much you win, sooner or later, you will lose even more.

00:51Why's that?

00:52Well, casinos use at least five tricks to make players give their money willingly.

00:58Is this some kind of conspiracy theory? Because I don't believe in these things.

01:01Uh, yeah. Oh, by the way.

01:03Here's a welcome bonus for you.

01:05Two hundred dollars.

01:06Go ahead.

01:07Why don't you, uh, spend it on the slot machines?

01:11Well, let's test my luck, shall we?

01:15Hey!

01:16You see how easily you fall in for the first trick?

01:19What's wrong with spending bonus money?

01:2120 bucks.

01:23Yeah, the purpose of this bonus is to, uh, get you sucked into the game.

01:27And then it all kicks in.

01:29Ah!

01:30Here we go, it's on!

01:33Well, you can withdraw the four hundred and fifty dollars and walk away.

01:39But...

01:41Look.

01:42You know why?

01:43Because I'm about to hit jackpot?

01:46Yeah, not exactly.

01:47Because everything here is designed to make you lose.

01:51I'll raise the bet.

01:52Two hundred bucks.

01:58And this is the second trick, by the way.

02:01What?

02:03Champagne?

02:04Because champagne will make you feel confident and raise more bets.

02:09Well, that was my decision.

02:11Yeah, this is what you think.

02:13Oh!

02:14That's a hint.

02:15The jackpot is coming.

02:19This is not a hint.

02:21This is the near-miss effect.

02:24It's a psychological manipulation that makes you believe the jackpot is close, but in reality it isn't.

02:31Mate, you're wrong. I can prove it.

02:33Here comes the third one.

02:34That's twenty-seven grand.

02:35I'm gonna get...

02:36Play a new card!

02:37She's gonna come back to me!

02:46Well?

02:48Well, it's not a big deal.

02:49It's just a bonus money.

02:52And I've only played for five minutes.

02:54Five minutes?

02:56You've been here for over an hour, my friend.

02:59What do you mean?

03:00And you fell for another trick and lost track of time.

03:04In a casino, everything is designed to make you forget about reality.

03:08I mean, look around you.

03:09There are no windows, no clocks, and...

03:13This smell.

03:18Can you feel it?

03:20I call it the sense of excitement.

03:23Casinos use special relaxing aromas to make you feel relaxed and raise your bets while emptying your pockets.

03:33It's nice.

03:35But what has it got to do with the fact that I've lost?

03:39I could have won just as easily.

03:41That's the unwritten law of the casinos.

03:43You see, the more time you spend at a table, the more likely you are to lose.

03:48Why is that?

03:49Ever wondered how the casino industry is making over 250 billion dollars a year?

03:54It's because in every game you see here, the casino has an advantage for the player.

04:02Oh, come on. What's the advantage can a roulette provide? It's a 50-50 shot.

04:06Well, actually, it's 47.3% to 52.7%, to be exact.

04:10And do not forget, apart from black and red, there's also zero.

04:18What's the advantage of slots, then?

04:21Five to ten.

04:23But it's even harder to win, because apart from the casino, there are a hundred, even thousands of other players who are playing against you.

04:32So, one of them to hit the jackpot...

04:37Everyone else got to lose.

04:38Exactly. So, you can win once, twice, ten times, but in the long run, you will always be in the red.

04:46Yeah, but now that I know about casino tricks, all I need to do is to win once, and then I can stop.

04:53Even if you get lucky and win back, you will not stop.

04:57And this time, it's not a casino to play. It's dopamine.

05:01A what?

05:02When a player wins, he has this rush of dopamine, like real euphoria, like when having headaches or, you know, taking...

05:11Yeah, what's wrong with that?

05:12What's wrong with taking drugs? Addiction.

05:15In order to get this dopamine high again, a person becomes addicted and wants to play again and again.

05:22And each time, they want a bigger dose.

05:24So, the player constantly raises his bet. And as a result, they lose everything.

05:31Money. Career. Family. And their life.

05:37I'm not like them. I need to win to get Claire back.

05:42No, I've heard the same excuses from people who can't stop playing.

05:46No, I mean it. I need to win to get Claire back.

05:49Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, cowboy. All right, I'll give you the chance.

05:52But what are you willing to give to win back?

05:56Anything.

05:57Anything. Hmm. All right.

06:01Shall we play the roulette, then?

06:02I haven't got any money. I've lost it all.

06:05We are not playing for money. This time, the bet is your life.

06:16Each of these chips is what people lose when they get hooked on gambling.

06:21If you win, you'll get $50,000 on the red, $100,000 for the blue one, and $200,000 for the black.

06:32Any follows?

06:34You said it yourself. You're ready to do anything.

06:39For Claire.

06:40For Claire.

06:44Career on red.

06:52My name is Christina, and in 2008 I got hooked on slot machines.

06:57I play day and night.

06:58I only came to my senses when I lost everything.

07:02$500,000.

07:04I'm still paying off my debts.

07:06Paying off my debts.

07:25Don't you want to stop?

07:26On red.

07:27My name is Claire Thompson.

07:28Claire?

07:29And I had lost the man I love to gambling.

07:30But you didn't.

07:31I'll win the money and I'll prove that I'm not a loser.

07:33He never understood that.

07:34It had nothing to do with money.

07:35I just wanted to be loved.

07:36But he chose slot machines instead.

07:37No.

07:38Claire.

07:39You're the most precious thing I've ever had.

07:42Claire.

07:43As long as the wheel is spinning, you can withdraw the bag.

07:44No.

07:45You can withdraw the bag.

07:46No.

07:47You can withdraw the bag.

07:48No.

07:49I'll win the money and I'll prove that I'm not a loser.

07:50I'll win the money and I'll prove that I'm not a loser.

07:51He never understood that.

07:52It had nothing to do with money.

07:53I just wanted to be loved.

07:54But he chose slot machines instead.

07:55No.

07:56Claire.

07:57You're the most precious thing I've ever had.

08:00Claire.

08:01As long as the wheel is spinning, you can withdraw the bag.

08:11No.

08:12I have to win everything back.

08:16Only then she'll come back to me.

08:31You've lost her.

08:41My life on black.

08:42Are you sure?

08:43This is the last thing you're left with.

08:44I said my life on black.

08:46I said my life on black.

08:47Your choice.

08:48I'm Luke.

08:49I wish I know it was gonna end like this.

08:50That I will never see my wife and my kids again.

08:53And like what?

08:54What happened?

08:55He took his own life.

08:56Just like thousands of other gambling addicts.

08:57Thousands?

08:58Yes thousands.

08:59In England alone.

09:00More than 400.

09:32Gambling addicts drive themselves into debts and emotional pits.

09:37And it's extremely difficult to get out of them.

09:41Do you realize what's at stake right now?

09:52Do you know why the roulette is called the Devil's Wheel?

09:55Because all of its numbers add up to 666.

09:59Do you think it's a coincidence?

10:04I won't give you my life.

10:06I'll change.

10:08I'll get rid of the addiction.
