Speaker 2: Bless Cindy, Hi Christian.

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 5: My weakest claim to fame is that I taught Alice

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 5: Cooper how to play rapid Roulette.

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: This is brilliant. Take a seat. Where was this what happened.

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: So about fifteen years ago, I was a croupier at

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: the country Club Casino in Bontaston, Tasmania, and he was

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: performing there and afterwards him and the band came out

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 5: and rapid Roulette is just a fast form of roulette.

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: So everything's computerized except for the.

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: Ball sounds right.

78
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: He has no idea what to do, so he was like,

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: what do I do? What do I do? And so

80
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: I taught him how to bed and I taught him

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: you know how much he was winning? And he was

82
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: squealing live a boy in a candy shop.

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: What a great story.

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: He was actually attacking such a huge crowd that everyone

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: must have thought that he was winning hundreds thousands of dollars.

86
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: But I swear he didn't win any more than five dollars.

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 2: Cindy, thank you very much, and cool.

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,240
