Tiffany and Walker say their mother, Shari, hits the casino the moment her paycheck drops into her bank account. They say she’s nearly $90,000 in debt, has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, and is now living with Walker and his wife, Emma, because she can’t afford a place of her own.

TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: At odds with a family member?

“My mother, Shari, is out of control with her gambling addiction,” Walker says. “I feel like I’m the adult for my mother, Shari. I’m always worried about if she doesn’t have any money this week, how is she going to eat.”

Tiffany, Walker’s sister, says their mom likes to play the penny slots and seems to get a high similar to a drug addict when she’s playing. “My mom always thinks that she’s going to win big, and she walks out with nothing, every time,” Tiffany says. “She has blown through almost $200,000.”

Intermittent reward is more powerful of a motivator to continue a behavior than winning each time.

My father worked at a casino for 30 plus years but he has never had a gambling addiction. He like slots, but he can take it or leave it.

Damn, her son is nice enough to allow her to live at house and she has the nerve to decorate the living room like she wants. And the audacity to get snippy with the kids who live there? Talk about entitled.

Use fake gambling, it may make it worse but it might help her cope

This reminds me to not look at the worried looking woman at the casino who just won thousands but keeps playing with envy but with pity. I used to say “if only” as I was playing with my little twenty bucks but now I know these people could be drowning in debt!

The only way to beat the casino is to cash out on free play or work as a dealer and not put money into entertainment that you can't afford to lose.
If you work at a casino they don'tlet you gamble there so maybe not a bad idea. Lol

Maybe if you won once in a while it would make sense like a poker player, best odds in the house are blackjack its still like 49%

If I want to play the slot machine. I play it on my mobile phone.
You can still lose money buying play money but it less than a real casino.
I live in a place that do not have a casino or lottery.
