On Monday, August 13, 2012, Scott Stevens brought brown hunting bags into a jeep grand cheroke and embraced his wife, Stacey, who had been in the master bedroom for 23 years. "I love you," he said.

Stacey believed that her husband went to work interviews and later had a promise with a therapist. Instead, he drove 22 miles from his home in Stubenville, Ohio to Mountainer Casino, a suburb of New Camberland, West Virginia. Checking the balance of the bank account at the casino ATM, it was $ 13, 400. He crossed the casino floor and headed to his favorite slot machine in the High Limit area. This time, there may be enough dividend to save him.

But it was no good. Four hours, he used $ 13. 000 from his account to $ 4. 00. At noon, he gave up.

Stevens parked the jeep in the gravel parking lot and called the Cleveland lawyer Ricky Gerbustust. His Squire Patton Boggs Law Office was a Berkman agent who had been working for 14 years.

Stevens's request was one: "Ask the company to keep paying the tuition of your daughter's university." He was notified that the tuition allowed by the company would be discontinued in the fall semester. Their daughter's failure was the last blow.

Garbust said he would transfer the request.

Stevens told Garbust to commit suicide.

The following year, he got married and had three daughters and settled on a comfortable life in Stubenville thanks to his status at the Berkman office. Stevens fell in love with her daughters and moved to her activities for them. In addition to soccer fields, they also raised funds to renovate high schools, build a new science room, and support the French expeditions in the French Club. On weekends, I painted a high school cafeteria with paint and peeled off the floor in the corridor.

Stevens first experienced a casino gambling when he participated in a trade show held in Las Vegas in 2006. On a subsequent trip, I hit a jackpot in a slot machine and became absorbed.

Scott and Stacey immediately went to Las Vegas several times a year. She enjoyed shopping, sat on the pool, and sometimes enjoyed a slot with her husband. In the summer, he traveled with his children and visited Grand Canyon, Hooverdam and Disneyland. Returning home, Stevens became a regular Mountainian casino. For six years, gambling hobbies have become addictive. Occasionally, the si x-digit jackpot was drawn, but it sometimes lost $ 4. 8 million in a year.

Is Scott Stevens's death because he couldn't stand gambling to addictive needs? Or was it a victim of a system that was carefully adjusted to eat his weakness?

Stevens was hiding meticulously that his wife was addicted. He managed all the couple's finances. The bank account was separate. He used his workplace address for W-2GS (the NTA for reporting gambling prize money), telemed by telephone, and shipment of casinos. Karl Nelson, his best friend and his so n-i n-law, gambling with Stevens, but never knew his gambling addiction. "I was shocked when I knew later." There was a scott that I didn't know.

When he lost money at the casino, Stevens left the place, wrote a company check in one of the Burkman's accounts with a chec k-in privilege of the check, and returned to the casino with cash. This was sometimes repeated three or four times a day. His job was to supervise several companies in different places, so his colleagues did not doubt that he was absent. When the company discovered fraud and acknowledged his embezzlement, Stevens was a good, responsible, and reliable person, but stealed nearly $ 4 million.

Stacey didn't know. In Vegas, Stevens always promised to invite her and girls to lunch. I always kept dinner time at home. On Saturday morning, she didn't ask if he would go to the office. So she was stunned when he called a bad news on January 30, 2012. When the phone rang, she was drying her laundry on the stairs.

"There is a story, there is a story."

The voice was weighted. "Who died?

"I can't see your eyes, so I have to talk over the phone.

He stopped. She waited.

"I may return without work today. I have money.

"It doesn't matter"

"How much? $ 10, 000?"

"More? $ 100, 000?"

"Stace, enough"

Stevens did not know how much she stealed or how often she was gambling. Even after being fired, Stevens continued gambling five or six times a week. He gambling on his wedding anniversary and his daughter's birthday. Stacey noticed that he was more frustrating and could beat her, but noticed that it was his unemployment. When she went to the casino, he said he was going to see a therapist, was making his personal connections, and said he had another plan. Occasionally, he said he was online trading. While Stacey lives down the $ 50, 000 in another savings account, he pulls out $ 150, 000 (k), empties $ 50, 000 from his wife and daughter's Etrade account, and credit cards. Used and lost all $ 110, 000 personal loans borrowed from PNC Bank.

Stacey did not understand the degree of her husband's addiction until three police officers appeared at the entrance with her husband's death.

Stacey later studied gambling addiction and how the slot machine seduces customers and let go of money. In 2014, she filed a lawsuit against Mountainian Casino and both International Gaming Technology, the manufacturer of the slot machines played by her husband. The problem was the fundamental problem of who killed Scott Stevens. Did he die because he couldn't handle the addictive desire for gambling? Or, like this lawsuit, was the victim of a syste m-adjusted system that was carefully adjusted to make his weaknesses, and hoped for his money, hopes, and still lived?

Forty years ago, the casino gambling was illegal throughout the United States, Nevada and the Atlantic City, New Jersey. However, since the Federal Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulation Law in 1988, tribal casinos and commercial casinos have rapidly grown in the United States, and now about 1, 000 casinos have been operated in 40 states. Casino regular customers bet more than $ 37 billion annually, which is more than a sports viewing ($ 17. 8 billion), watching movies ($ 10. 7 billion), and the price of music purchases ($ 6. 8 billion). 。

The recent mainstream of gambling is online gambling machines, which are now nearly 1 million units nationwide, providing slots and video poker variations. Its spread accelerates addiction and has caused enormous profits to casino operators. Nowadays, most of the casino profits are due to only a few customers (mostly most likely to be addicted), and in the industry, there are ecstatic customers who are called "continuous game productivity". Playing a clearly designed machine to track. (The industry group American Gaming Association said in a 2010 report, "The spread of pathological gambling is ... compared to 1976, when Nevada legally installed slot machines. It is not expensive now. " The popularity of the slot machine and the several decades surrounding it do not significantly increase the amount of customers spending on the gambling of slot machines during the average casino visits after adjusting inflation. ")

"Stevens lawyer, Terry Nof Singer, says," The manufacturer knows that these machines are addictive, and do their best to make them more profitable. "This is not negligence.

Four years later, Noffsinger represented Jenny Kephart, then 52, in a lawsuit against Caesars Riverboat Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana, alleging that the casino knew she was a pathological gambler and knowingly induced her to gamble in order to profit from her addiction. Kephart had become addicted to gambling in Iowa and had filed for bankruptcy after moving to Tennessee. But after she inherited nearly $1 million, Caesars began inviting her to play at its riverboat casinos in Indiana, where she gambled away the money and more. When the casino sued for damages for the money it owed her, Kephart fought back. She denied Caesars' case on numerous grounds, including "providing excessive amounts of alcohol... and alleging that she was injured by her actions and omissions," but Caesars dropped its claim for damages under Indiana law. Kephart ultimately lost his counterclaim, but the case went all the way to the Indiana Supreme Court, which ruled in 2010 that it had erred in denying Caesars' motion to dismiss the counterclaim. "The existence of a voluntary exclusion program means Indiana has the option to ban players from casinos in the state.

Noffsinger had planned to retire until he got a call from Stacey Stevens. But after hearing the details of Scott Stevens' situation, which had far more serious consequences than the previous two cases, he eventually changed his mind. Slot machines are intentionally designed to deceive players, and when used as intended, they cause harm.

Novsinger, focusing on manufacturing liability, borrowed from a book on the early dispute solution strategy that has solved countless public health lawsuits over decades. Novsinger's hope was to do the same in the game industry. When Nofjinger filed a Stevens lawsuit, Professor John W. Kind, Professor of the Illinois University of Urinoy Champagne School, described the lawsuit as a "supe r-large lawsuit."

According to an estimation of the National Center for Responsible, founded by the industry members, the American adult population 1, 1-1, 6 %, or about 3 to 4 million Americans have gambling disorders. This is more than the number of women who have a history of breast cancer living in the United States. The center is 2-3 % of adults, that is, 5 to 8 million Americans, who are still pathological or disability, although some of the dependence criteria for the American Psychiatric Medical Association It is presumed that it has not reached. In addition, some industry officials estimate the number of gambling addicted patients.

Such addicts cannot stop, no matter what the result. "What is obsessiv e-compulsive gambling?" Valerie Lorentz says, "They can't control their actions.

Gambling is an addiction that does not use drugs. However, even though external chemicals do not act in the brain, neurological and physiological reactions to stimulation are similar to that of drugs and alcoholic poisoners. Some of the game addicts have experienced a sense of uplifting like a powerful drug. If you can be resistant to drug addicts and no longer gamble, you will cause impaired symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, headache, and palpitations.
