Or the 40-something guy who’s just out of shape enough to be somewhat relatable to the average suburban dad walking in with his beautiful 30-something blonde wife as they smile and open their mouths to gasp while taking in the majesty of the dimly-lit room that smells like lung darts and old people who don’t have anything in their 401k.

And remember—according to the voiceover, you’re not a sucker when you go to the casino, you’re a “player.”

If you move anywhere within a 2-hour drive of an Indian casino there’s an excellent chance you’ll see one exactly as described, many, many times, during just about every single sporting event you watch.

They’ll also highlight the resort’s golf course where the husband goes to ditch his family after gambling away the kids’ college funds as they sit and wait for him by the pool.

The most normal ones I’ve seen is a group of people dancing through different areas of the casino, which is at least normal and not a surrealist nightmare.
