Cassadaga walks into the basement of the local community center and places pamphlets and chairs out in a circle as she brews a hot pot full of coffee and places out snacks. She humbly sits in the seat and looks at the circle of men and women surrounding her as she takes a deep breath...

Welcome to the group of Gambler's Anonymous. My name is Cassadaga, compulsive gambler.

The people all greet her in unison, "Hi Cassadaga!"

Before coming to this fellowship many of us found that we could control our gambling it is only through admission of our powerlessness over our disease of gambling addiction did we find ourselves here tonight. I am going share some of my experience, strength and hope on the topic of gambling.

Cassadaga once again breathes deep and allows her higher power to speak through her...

I cannot control my gambling under any circumstances. I have spent many hours and countless nights lost in the slots and at the blackjack table. I have probably spent enough money at the Alleanza Casino to put Godfather SammyGarcini's children through college... TWICE! I remember one of my corrupt officers I have on the payroll giving me a nice profit of almost $500,000 off of some acquired packages of narcotics and instead of using that money to take care of the great men I have surrounding me and making sure their needs are met.. I sat down at the blackjack table and compulsively gambled away my earnings. At one point, I had turned that $500,000 into over $2,000,000 in just a few hands and it was then I realized that I cannot gamble successfully. I threw away money that could have gone to my amazing crew leader, Severe or to even help somebody in need. I own a financial cash loan business over on the South Side of Chicago in our business district and I fear that my gambling could possibly interfere with my workings. Granted I have a large income, it is still money that could be better spent on different needs than to be thrown into the casino, recycled and possibly used to do harm. Of course, the only and ONLY upside to this is that I faithfully gamble in my own city to make sure my money winds up in the hands of our amazing Godfather SammyGarcini but it's not the point.. the point is that I have a problem and that problem is compulsive gambling. I am going to bring this to a close and allow the floor to open up for discussion. If anybody has any suggestions or want to provide identification to my problem. Feel free to do so. Thank you. That's all I got

Cassadaga sinks her eyes in and looks at the floor awaiting a glimmer of hope from her beloved fellow gamblers... 

Sounds like a very serious problem. I think I know where you are going wrong, though. You're doing the wrong kind of Gambling! Casinos are built with the odds in favour of the owners. Sure, you'll win and win big, but if you don't know how to step away after that win, you'll lose it all.

Now if you take a small flight over to Philly, you'll find a little place on the south side called Lannisters One Stop Betting Shop. You can bet on ANYTHING here. And I mean anything. Give me your bet, I'll tell you the odds you can have for that bet and hey presto, life just got more exciting!

Now being a  man of such sensitivity to peoples addictions, I do take care to ensure that people aren't constantly throwing their money away. Should I feel that you've lost control of your ability to walk away, I'll refuse your bets! Now I'd highly doubt any Casino can offer that promise!

So.. what do you say, wanna play?

One might think that I have a problem with gambling... But it's not true! Not at all! Sure... I've lost tens of millions... and I've spent hours trying to get it back... and I've lost more doing so... I've crawled around looking for chips on the floor... sold credits just to gamble more..........

But 90% of it was at DS's casino... so I consider it tribute.

Nods incessantly.

Sanctionater looks back into his past, remembering all the money he has lost and the ups and downs of his gambling. The times where he would be stood outside a casino smoking a cigarette to try ease the heartbreaking feeling of losing all his earnings for that week. Depressing thoughts have bought him down and he not stands there looking disappointed.

I once had a gambling problem, but I am now cured... I promise! No really I am! STOP judging me okay? I don't do it any more!

I bet you $100 that I don't gamble any more!

Cassadaga looks around and smiles at the identification she is receiving.

My name is Angelus and I am a gambling addict. I blow all my earnings weekly to try to get enough to buy credits and get the fast way to being rich I need help!

I just lost $8M on blackjack and craps... I have nothing left to my name from the disease of gambling. This is sick...

Question for who ever may care to answer: Is it a gambling "addiction" only when your losing millions but keep going at it despite? How about when your winning non stop? surely a good thing cant be an addiction.

That being said I have no such luck... I just lost my whole bank and processed on trying to win it back using money I "borrowed" from Sanctionater...

Anyone care to give me a loan? I will repay 2x if you do... I'm good for it I swear!!!

Well, my mother had her problems.. good thing I didn't inherit them..

Where the hell are all these casinos she drained her money at ???
