i know he won a substantial sum playing baccarat on his birthday last year. not sure what has happened to that money since then though. a lot of properties arent willing to give him action anymore for playing games you wouldnt expect to get barred from. theres only a couple places he plays at nowadays. he mainly plays baccarat and roulette now.

People keep screwing up that calculation. The odds against Patricia Demauro's 154 streak roll in craps were 1 : 5,590,264,072 (5.59 billion) , not 1:1.5 million. That is not that high of an odds compared to a world record.

The video also screws up the facts: as the Wizard has noted, you have to figure she rolled a lot of 7s, but did not roll a 7-out during the streak. Rolling no 7s at all would truly be beating astronomical odds.
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder
