An illegal betting duo was arrested for roaming Minnesota casinos and, for a fee, playing slots for gamblers who watch on a TikTok livestream in hopes of striking it rich. They would keep $25 for every $100 deposited for wagering, and charge a $5.99 subscription fee. They have 165,000 followers.
And I thought that people hosting gambling games in RuneScape with house odds of 55 x2 was absurd house odds, but this is ridiculous. It shows just how badly people understand odds, of course the slot machine exists to take money and then taking 1/4th of their money on top that. It must be kids spending their parents money on ‘adult’ things, I don’t have any other way to make sense of it.

I ‘bet’ the casino sets this up as an official in house service.

It’s all good until you hit the jackpot, they get the winnings and you have to pay the taxes.

I don’t see this as any different than grubhub delivering food for a fee.

Imagine winning it big and there is a whole room of people behind you in line all let down.
