Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This documentary follows a former salesman who now makes his living as a gambler, his personal preference being slot machines. Spending no more than an hour at each machine, he is able to make $600 from each before moving on to the next one. He has a personal tailor who reinforces the linings of his pockets to hold his winnings. Although he is successful, the gambler has few friends and is deadly serious about his activities which are just a pleasant diversion for most.
