Lots of people gamble $10,000 in a day in video machines. They might win or lose (mostly lose) but the loss isn’t usually that much.
I see people win or lose (usually the case) $500 - $700 pretty regularly on video machines. They might burn through $10,000 in an day to do it but their net loss is usually a lot less than $10,000. Either way, I wouldn’t get much enjoyment out of that.
My father in law is a Reno high roller. He makes serious bank on slots. He may be down $10k one minute and up $15k the next. Plus at the end of the year he gets the high roller bonus. Basically that’s a raffle drawing for the top high rollers. Where he has won several cars, motorcycles, and boats. He is always comped a suite, all meals, and shows.
