  • Curious fact : That guy Louis is playing with at the end looks like the same guy that lost a butch of money from Canada with a wig !

  • That machines only idiots play on it or you much run with the money. they earn 1000 they give 400 ,they earn 2000 they give 800 they earn 3000 they give 1200 the system is like that

  • I wonder what the tax impact is on losing such large amounts of money at the casino... Maybe these casinos will report larger losses than these millionaires really have which helps them keep more of their income come tax time...

  • Macallan 18YO with rocks? Only in America...

  • these white guys are suppeerr fucking white holy moly, you show er who louis is. wow

  • i wanted to see what happened to that guy who looks like jon favreau

  • @fdalkjfdsalkj Yea man. He was up $10k then down $24k (actually $14k) and based on that last bender he must have lost at least another 15k. YIKES. Probably didn't want to be on camera after that so he just disappeared into another casino.

  • There is no catch. Welcome to Vegas.

  • Such a good documentary, one of my faves for sure!!!

  • Love this docudramedy! If if Alan is dan!Guna look 4 Martha this weekend and take her cash!lmao

  • Comment removed

  • 1:48 the gayest thing ive ever heard! who says that to another guy when talking about money?!

  • @accentplaya18 hahaha

  • @accentplaya18 hes a fucking hipster moron, that's the point

  • @rotolo Look here youtube bitch, you can say "i'll show you mine if you show me yours" to all the guys you want, but don't complain when u find a cock up your ass!

  • The music at around 5:20 is so classy ! Does anyone know what it's called ?

  • Louis alot of respect for what he does hes crazy :L

  • another dope louis documentary good job

  • These people don't have a gambling problem. They have a loneliness problem.

  • Dan "The Man" does disguise his voice most of the evening but it cracks and doesn't sound like Alan "The Matress Guy" It is the same person. But wht would the BBC do that?

  • i meant to say does and not doesn't

  • Alan and Dan "the man" are the same person.

    

  • did we win?

  • @kpjlsknflksnflknsa it was put on in 2009 so it's about 2008 I would say

  • the guy gave him money.trust me

  • Louis gives the most awkward high 5's I've ever seen...

  • MONKEY

    

  • does anyone know how old this is?

  • god he downed that bloody mary like it was water O.o

  • @Squashylemon Proof of why the Brit's are the best drinkers.

  • Did we win? Louis is adorable and I'm not gay.

  • @robthesamplist yes you are

  • my gambling career started at 4 years old when the tooth fairy gave me 10p and i put it in a slot machine and won 70p. i wish i had lost that bet. but i think we are all born with some type of sickness. i'm happy not to be a crack head.

  • no mini bar in dan the man's room.

  • Spondulics

  • Loved as soon as he met Dan the Man..Louis is straight away asking for alcholic drinks...either he knew already that he won't be able to stand the man without one or he's been in Vegas too long..lol

  • How to properly gamble:

    1. Take $100.

    2. Set $20 aside for drinks.

    3. Gamble the $80.

    4. Lose: Quit. Have some drinks. Win: Put the $80 back in pocket and either gamble or save your winnings and DO NOT bring that $80 back out.

    5. Spend what you win on strippers or prostitutes.

  • @ibaneziceman2007 and drugs

  • @ibaneziceman2007 - smacked the nail on the head mate :)

  • the most bizarre thing about gambling is the term "beginners luck" i dont know how it works, but it does......

  • @zoomorphicrap I would call it "survivor bias", some one will get lucky from the start, because of the randomness, you loose or win, and the winners remember their initial luck and tie this to their beginning in gambling.

  • Thankyou for the upload whoever you are Oakey47! Gamblers are thrillseekers, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose but the journey is priceless.

  • Go Go Tony Bergmans, the butler :):):) Love that guy.... (at 3.02)

  • Dan.the.man.is.the.fucking.mat­ress,king!

  • Dan: "You don't know if you approve of gambling?"

    Louis: "No"

    Dan: "Everything we do in life is a gamble my friend"

    Louis: "Meaning?"

    Dan: "This is entertainment, this isn't gambling"

    So what he is saying is basicly... everything in life is a gamle.. except for gambling. Makes perfect sense Dan the man!

  • i didn't know willy carson worked in that casino

  • Dan the Man is such a twat.

    Love how he tries to come across as a highclass player, but drowns his scotch in ice showing he actually has no idea.

  • @GKFC in fairness i have so much more respect for dan the man considering he came out a winner as opposed to that idiot from toronto

  • @GKFC Las Vegas has never been known as the epitome of class. However, even if it is on the rocks, a good single malt will taste better than a cheap bourbon, which you wouldn't raise an eyebrow if he ordered on the rocks. If you never drink scotch on the rocks by mere principle you are a quite poor soul, and an 18 year old Macallan doesn't cost more than 150 bucks anyway.

  • Er, of course good scotch will taste better than a bad bourbon... rather pointless thing to say... crappy bourbon is designed to be mixed etc so that you don't have to taste just how bad it is.

    And I never said to not have ice in scotch, I said that this clown had a glass full of ice with the scotch which is not right. One or two cubes max otherwise you dilute it too much.

  • 3:25

    Dan: 'you've gotta go in with in with a winning attitude'

    Louis: 'How do you do that?'

    Dan: 'You get... You think... It's possible'

    I think he was about to say 'you get drunk' lol

  • Fucking love Louis Theroux. His docos are the best; so entertaining and always some interesting insights into some extremities.

  • anyone know the name of the music playing at 3:54?

  • "How you doing good to see you" *hugs* "how you doing good to see you" *pushes over* hahahahahah he is like get the f@ck out of here you are ruining my business

  • "look, we're gonna give you a brand new Hilton envelope"

  • It's "keep the faith" you bell-end!

  • People and private business should be allowed to do what ever they want. If I own a business that allows gambling and you want to gamble that in my opinion is non of any ones business. Stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours. BTW I don't gamble. I just believe in freedom of choice, whether that be drugs, alcohol, not wearing seat belt or even gambling. Do what you want and be responsible to except the consequences of your actions. Don't turn to the government after.

  • @cwood4ever

    'excep't'

    It's accept sweety...such a dumb ass .:/

  • i´ll show you mine if you show me yours xD

  • Martha + 5 grams of rat poison a day = get what's left of your inheritance

  • Next time you're in a casino and you wanna find the biggest winner here's a tip ... you're standing in it.

  • Louis made $1700 in total

  • Louis is so.... .... .... monotonal? Nerdy even? I smile with the awkwardness!

  • Gambling scares me 

  • The marketing guy is so phony...

  • @LiquidGoldSwords

    Most marketing people are phoneys.

  • @LiquidGoldSwords As fake as a hooker's smile.

  • @LiquidGoldSwords well he IS a marketing guy ;-)

  • louis is acting so drunk dude

  • who orders old single malt whisky on the rocks? blasphemy!

  • if i was that old bitch's son and she blew 4mill on bugger all i would strangle the old cow.

  • fucking hell, realising im a gambling addict myself, all i felt i want to do is go to the casino hahahaha

  • @Skeuk watch the part with that guy called john, it''ll change your mind :p

  • 6 mins...Well funny hhahah

  • Did we win?!?!? lol

  • 2 people lost it all in Vegas !

  • "where do you make $1500 in an hour and a half?"

    That's exactly what mr Gay-for-Pay says in Louis Theroux -Porn

    I prefer the Vegas way...

  • as a person who works 4 a poker machine place my message is dont play ppl its a choice

  • Do u have the Spondolicks?

  • "I will show you mine, if you show me yours"

    lol

  • Louis,you are a heck of a man.Thanks!

    And I feel so sorry about this old lady Martha.She is sick,out of her mind...

  • How did Elmo from Sesame St. end up in the body of that old lady?

  • @RedOctoberFly awesome

  • I like the way Richard Wilk ( casino "marketing" guy ) gives Dan the Man a nice false welcome and gives Louis the brush-off at 4.07. He's probably thinking " Aw, not this Limey fucker with the questions again! Go Louis!

  • isnt that the guy who just lost like 100k? or a different guy?

  • Comment removed

  • It's funny how they all seem afraid of saying "we might lose" because they think the outcome of the bet will be a result of their mindset. 5:04

    It's a mild obsessive compulsive disorder where people think they'll be safe if they avoid walking on the lines between the cobblestones or something.

  • one of the deadly sins...greed

  • Louie "the High" Roller

  • i like dan the man

  • I think these guys are extremely involved with a delusion, just seeing them with the body language, their justifications etc. But to each is own.

  • does the casino care if you put a pen through one of their cards?

  • @thisisgame in Baccarat player's bend, rip, destroy cards all the time. The decks aren't reused anyway. In Mini Baccarat (The game commonly found on the main casino floor) only the dealer handles the cards and they would likely be ticked off if you did it there.

  • Dan seems like a cool guy

  • Louis see's Dan so excited and keeps on asking "did we win?" lol

  • Ha ha, none of these people realise that Louis Theroux's style is to appear naive, innocent and a bit childlike. He's got a first class degree from Oxford, and is more intelligent and shrewder than all these guys put together!

  • @TheMightyHartley He really disarms people, very good interviewing style.

  • @TheMightyHartley yep makes the people interviewed do all the dirty work an usually make themselves look like cocks coz there playing up to him an the cameras lol

  • MONKEYYY

  • Who chugs a Bloody Mary?!

  • @GlenDanzig haha if you took out 3k of your OWN money (can't legally use the station's since it's funded by tax dollars!) for something you KNEW was a huge profit for the other side... wouldn't you gulp down that alcohol while the hole burned in your pocket? :P (Nice name, btw... just tell your children not to walk [Louie's] way, not to hear his words, what they mean what they say... :D Seriously, Louis Theroux's way more dangerous than 99% out there--thankfully he's not on the bad guys' side!)

  • Macallan 18 on the rocks?!!

    That's frikkin' blasphemy!

  • I love the way he orders room service for the drink, downs it in under a minute, probably pays a fortune for it when he could get it in the casino for free. Great stuff!

  • The clichés the gamblers use to justify their addiction is scaring.

    How can that matress king run a company succesfully? If he gambles in Vegas, he's prone to gambing in his professional life as well.

  • "The night started with a win."

    "Oh baby! That's what I'm talking about!"

    "And then another"

    "MONKEY!"

    lol wtf

  • @ArchRascal Obviously, Monkeys = WIN! :)

  • @ArchRascal For some reason, people call face cards "Monkeys". Not trying to generalize, but this seems heavily prominent amongst Asian gamblers.

  • @AdminMember these marketeer people are commission based.. their is no such thing as 'marketing manager' they are all freelance marketeer.. they bring clients to casino from their personal connections.. and than more money the clients they bring, the more they make... they get percentage of what their clients loose, hilton dont pay them any fixed salary..

  • "were r u going?" louis favourite question

  • i swear, louis is like a good luck charm. i need to gamble with him to balance out my own bad luck.

  • everybody in the world has a vice, i gamble, drug addicts take heroin, rapist's rape, alcoholics drink, peadophiles chase kids. we all do our things as it's in our dna. i dont like losing money buy when im at the casino im losing my money and i hurt only myself. so let the doctor spend her money . she earned it

  • There has got to be cheaper ways to buy friends:o

  • Dan the Man might be a degenerate gambler like all the rest, but the guy has class. Gotta love how he just offhand orders a McCallan 18 on the rocks. That's what? About $150 a bottle?

    I wonder if they comp him high-price liquor like that.

  • @afterapplepicking

    McCallan 18 on the rocks? Classy? I think not IMHO.

  • Louis: "Dan the man"

    Dan: "Louis"

    Louis: "How you doing?"

    Dan: "Fine, how are you?"

    Louis: "Yeah good, how are you doing?"

    Dan: "I'm doing really good."

    Louis: "Good good good."

    lol

  • @kivenevik

    Fucken louis what a boss eh

  • @kivenevik " what happend to my bloody mary"

    dan the man: its on 17 black....along with ur car keys..

  • What a jungle, enjoyed it very much thanks for the upload.

  • Really enjoyed this doc! Thanks.

  • I tell you what, as someone who has been to Vegas himself I think theres something to the whole lady luck tease that brings you back. I spent a week in vegas and got financially raped until the last night when I won everything back...hours before I had to get on the plane home. Now I wanna go back....does that make me a junkie? You can tell Louis can't handle his drink bless him...he got quite loud with that Dan after he helped him a win a few hands.

  • haha i love the way he asks "did we win" after every hand...

    "Did we win?"

    "Yes."

  • Glad Louis won money, I mean I know he's well off anyway but it's good to see someone win and take the money instead of gambling it away.

  • Ugh Bloody Mary's taste like shit,

  • The consultant looks the same as the first guy?

  • that slot machine sound will be playing at Marthas funeral

  • @MrArsenalist

    The whole bank of slot machines will be playing at Marthas funeral and then she'll be preserved in a slot machine, "Grannies chance".

  • @dayingyang0 hes a legend

  • Its SAD to see that woman ........

  • One? ONE DON'T BEAT EIGHT!

  • The most entertaining game is Texas Holdem that does involve your brain.

  • @pocho31 Texas Holdem involves more brain power than any of these games.

  • My dad earns 200,000$ a year and watching these people losing 3000 dollars in seconds makes me wanna punch em in the face.

  • @eljaytomas123 Rich kid

  • the "IT GUY" is really the Alan the Mattress King with a wig an sun glasses trying to recoup his 500k losses

  • @darraghmcsweeneydmcs You are absolutley right its Alan

  • The only way to beat the casino is to play sensible like Louie.

    

  • MONKEY!!!

  • @Hollemans1983

    MONEY!!!! < HA HA I HAVE MORE EXPLOMATIONMARKS.

  • Louis rules!

    You won that much? YEAH!!! haha

    Those people are sick

  • MONKEY!

    lmao

  • *chug* "How do you do that?"

    Awesome-o!

  • MONKEY!!!

  • either busting out yourself or staying on a low card in fear of busting out yourself. soo many aspects to blackjack that make it the biggest suckers bet. stick to casino war or baccarat. actually if u want better advice, DONT GAMBLE AT ALL!

  • @harshLesson actually the best advice would be to count cards. you can make a lot of money from that.

  • everyone thinking about going to vegas should watch this documentary before going. the reason why i end up hating vegas is like 90% of the time i end up losing all my money by the first night. so naturally the rest of my vacation is shitty and i walk around frowning the whole time. after lots of gambling, as strange as it sounds, i find the game 'casino war' to be the best in terms of casino odds. its basically 50/50 odds - whoever has the highest card. Where as blackjack, your basically

  • @harshLesson I don't understand how you can hate Vegas, even if you have lost all your cash - the city is amazing! It's like all of the psychoses of the American dream made flesh. I can certainly understand why Hunter S. Thompson was so fascinated by the place - a single glimpse of it would have made Freud's head explode.

  • @guysmiley00 I have to diasgree, Vegas is damn depressing. You walk into a casino, and there are no windows. You have no idea what time of day/night it is, and neon lights bounce of the eyes of every zombie in front of a slot machine. Kids sit outside casinos for hours whilst their parents gamble away their tuition. And crappy Celine Dion shows are advertised everyhwere. Vegas sucks

  • @ShawnoftheDay It may be depressing, but it's still fascinating in its absurdity.

  • Vegas is a crazy place lol, nice documentary

  • Haha, I thought somebody just sent me a message on Facebook.. at 3:11

  • 25c slots is not the way to break even 4m

  • Tool: "Everything we do in life is a gamble"

    Louis: "Meaning?"

    Brilliant!

  • louis doesn't even know what the hell's going on lol

  • "Monkey"!!!!!!

  • Awesome ending.

  • @hhighroller Thanks for sharing! Have seen this documentary so many times and have really come to like it. Fits very well!

  • Comment removed

  • I love playing poker, and play roulette and blackjack occasionally, but I like the human interaction around the table, thats a big part of it for me. I'd hate to sit in front of a slot machine mindlessly pressing a button for hours on end, weeks in a row.

  • @hhighroller thanks!

  • whats up with the dark glasses?

  • you gamble, you take risk I say, you win or lose, its the risk  choose. Be smart, play it right, dont go home empty and argue, and fight.

    know when to say you're done, dont be greedy, or you will get stung.

    Just go out and have some fun, enjoy the food, and kiss your hun. just remember, its all about luck. be smart, play your game. know when to quit or you'll be left with nothing but shame.. 90% of the time, Las Wages takes your buck, lose in minutes, and say WTF!!
