"Iredale said his client won more than $1 billion from 2000 to 2009 playing video poker in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and San Diego, but lost most of it."

Damn!! She lost MOST of it?? How much $$ does one need to continue to play?!?!

"After dipping into the red, she wound up compiling $13 million in debt, according her attorney."

I can see her at the machine "I just need to hit 45 Royals and I'm cool!!" Lol

Somebody botched the story because NY Times reporting she gambled 1 Billion and lost 13 Million which is actually fantastic considering the takeout.

Best way to make a small fortune playing video poker? Start with a large fortune.
