Do you think if I gambled all my (pension) money at the casino and became homeless I would eventually hit the jackpot and live happily ever

After? I could eat free at Salvation Army chow halls and live in a homeless shelter place for a while.

What is the greatest jackpot amount that a slot machine will pay?

    Here is a safe bet.  You do that?  You will die homeless. Count on it.  

    Please don't try and prove me wrong.  I'll have to take you in then. I cannot let you starve.  


    Then again, I know you are clever; you could be a gypsy.  Or a pirate.  Or both.

    I usually only visit the casino once a year when the Pacific National Exhibition is happening and play the 25 cent slots. I did win a $500. jackpot one time. I think I could acquire a gambling addiction if I allowed myself.
    I used to do the roulette wheel all the time but luck ran out and I wasn't having fun losing too much too quickly.  This post was edited by Kittigate at July 31, 2019 5:38 AM MDT

    I never did heroin but once to see what it felt like and I liked it too much and never touched it again.

    The same with gambling.  I lost, thank God, when I placed a bet at a race track that my boyfriend's friends said was a "sure thing".  LOL.  I put down 40 bucks and won nothing.  If I had won, I think it would have maybe set off a trigger. Because gambling is easy to get addicted to.  Like heroin, but more deadly.

  • Happily Ever After is what you get when you stop wanting and start living.

    You could actually do those things now, without gambling away your pension.

      If you're not already in the state of California, move here immediately before implementing your homelessness plan: the current governor and many of the mayors have ithings set up quite nicely for people in that situation.

    I couldn't know the exact odds as I have no idea which games you'd play -
    but I can safely guess your odds of winning are stacked against you by the very nature of the game.

    I know quite a few people who live homeless, and one who lived it for over forty years.
    If you want me to put you in touch so you can ask them about their experiences I will.

    I don't know how much the biggest jackpot, but the one time I went to Vegas, I saw a man win 750,000 USD on a slot machine. I believe he bet $15. So play big to win big.
