The mindset of casino gamblers


From Bill Kearney:

Massachusetts ‘Gaming’ Future

This is a good example of the mindset of casino gamblers.

Associated Press - October 3, 2012 - Nine accused of faking injuries in SugarHouse Casino trolley mishap
...

Authorities in Philadelphia say nine people who allegedly faked injuries in a minor traffic mishap are being charged with insurance fraud.

According to District Attorney Seth Williams, the defendants were riding a SugarHouse Casino trolley in May when it grazed mirrors with a city bus downtown.

Williams says the trolley's surveillance system indicates the vehicle contact was so slight that none of the 26 passengers moved suddenly. He says the trolley's mirror had no damage.

But Williams says some riders can be heard on surveillance audio talking about the casino's "deep pockets." Nine filed claims against the trolley company, alleging serious injuries.

Williams said Wednesday that all of the suspects turned themselves in. They also face charges of attempted theft by deception.
