Gambling was his only vice? What about sex and drugs in conjunction? Were prostitutes involved?

Bennett was a real loser. He gambled alone, at slot machines. He wasn't hanging out with hookers at the craps table.

Imagine that! Putting millions of dollars into slot machines! Amazing!

I wonder how long it would take, eight hours a day to put 1 million into a slot machine?

or even susan b anthony's in at a kerplop...

four quarters a minute, or a dollar, would take a million minutes, right? divided by the number of minutes in an eight hour day? (8 x 60=480 minutes) one million minutes devided by 480 minutes? means it would take 2083 days, NOT including Sundays and Saturdays off for building those "moral virtues" like a good Christian does... with 220 days of gambling a year, at this rate, it would take just under TEN years to flush that money down the toilet.

Just a guess, but I am willing to bet the high stakes stuff is what we are looking at, and that likely includes, private betting with bookies... who are usually, connected with the mob. The high roller scene, would include the sex and drugs genre at the baccarat table, hookers and all. NOT that you couldn't gamble without paying them for sex... just likely that you are going to hang around a lot of "less than moral virtuous icons".

There will be more to come on this, I am willing to BET!
Get it? BET... heh heh...
Wonder what the ods are on Bennett's relationships with his "birds of a feather" social circle have more revelations of 'impropriety'.

"with 220 days of gambling a year, at this rate, it would take just under TEN years to flush that money down the toilet."

of course I forgot we aren't talking about ONE million dollars, we are talking about EIGHT... and eight times times ten years for each million would take eighty years...

And Bennett is not quite eighty yet right?

Upon consideration, I would have to say, I really doubt he is a slot kinda guy...
