Some follow up on the Keno game.
I worked with a dealer, George, who had been around Reno for quite a few years. His Dad was retired Navy and lived in San Diego. George liked to gamble, and wrote a lot of Keno tickets.
One evening, while working, and on a break, wrote a $1.10 eight spot, I think at Harold's Club, on his next break he went back, won, came back and told the floor boss he was quitting, went back, picked up his $25,000, went to the train station, got a ticket on the next train for San Diego. It didn't arrive for a few hours.
George went home, packed, and headed for the train station to wait for the train. He decided to go to the Nevada Club for breakfast, which he did. They he decided to go to Harrah's and have a drink and wait for the train.
You guessed it, before the day was over, he lost the money, moved back in to his apartment, took a nap, and made his next shift at work. They knew him well enough to know that they thought he might be back to work.
I heard other stories of winners of the $25,000 who lost in back. A dishwasher from Harrah's did the same thing, win it, blow it, and go on with their lives
