The Casino

So I've been watching "The Casino" for a couple of weeks now and can't figure out why the casino owners want this show on the air. Sure it's free advertising but they keep showing horrible things. This one family's kids wanted to go to Disneyland for vacation and the parents decided to go to Vegas first, win a bunch of money (at roulette no less - Dosteyevsky would be proud - morons), and then take the kids to Disneyland. Guess what happened. Go on, guess.
Yep, the dad lost all the money (at roulette - go figure) and they had to just go back home, broke. He also blamed his wife for distracting him and, at one point, consulted a PSYCHIC to give him his lucky numbers. He also had a system (again - for ROULETTE!). Sorry kids.
In last night's episode part of the show was dedicated to a problem gambler. He pawned his gun and WEDDING RING to go play craps. How bad was this guy? When he was pawning his WEDDING RING the hock shop guy offered him $60. This was after the guy said "Those are real diamonds". Know what he said? "Can't you make it 80?". Guess how he did?
Also, they kept referring to him as an "ex-cop/ gambling addict". What the hell does being an ex-cop have to do with anything? Who cares what he did for a living before? You might has well said "ex-child/ gambling addict".
And the "High Rollers" who got engaged, want their bachelor (and bachelorette) party, and the wedding at the casino are super annoying.
And last, the wannabe host, Tommy. What a wang. I would be so pissed if I were a high roller and came to the casino and this smarmy little shit was my host. He's terrible. And when he gets yelled at he smiles and giggles nervously. This is a host?
I thought hosts were the guys who could get you hookers and drugs. C'mon, I lost six-figures here and you give me a chubby, bald weenie who comps me the breakfast buffet and misses meetings with me? Where's my drugs? Where's my hookers?
