Interviewing People and Questions

Frank Veldman
1. You have just recently turned 18, what did you think about gambling before you were of age?
Well, I have heard a lot of negatives on it.  You are expected to lose money because the casino sets it up in thier favor.  Put there is always a chance where a rare person could win the jackpot.  I would think it'd be fun, but you have to know your limit.
2. How do you feel when you are losing money?
I feel like I want to put in more, so I can win bak what  I lost
3. How do you picture yourself this summer with going to the casino?
Big ballin, throwin hundereds.  You know I ll go man, depends how much money I have, but if my friends are going, ill probably go.

Ty Mcdevit
1. After your first casino trip you won a lot of money, what was going through your head?
I felt great, I was winning money and just having a great time.  I couldn't wait to go back and try my luck again!
2. When you lost it all on the next couple trips, did you feel you wanted to go back or did you want to stop?
You know, it really didn't bother me that much.  I only lost the money that I had won before and it didn't force me to quit.  I went in there knowing I could lose this money, but the chance of winning makes me just want to bet bet bet!
3.How do you picture yourself this summer with going to the casino?
I see myself going alot.  With only a short period of time before I go off to college, I am going to go as much as I can.

Peter Burke
1. Your an avid casino goer, what makes you want to go so much Peter?
There is a thrill of winning that you don't get everyday.  When that dealer flips you a black jack, there is no feeling that compares.
2. When you look in your wallet and you have no money while you are at the casino, what is going through your head? At first you know it is a little disappointing.  I know I shouldn't bring my credit card, but I usually will go to the ATM and take out some more money.
3. How do you picture yourself this summer with going to the casino?
This summer will be great, I feel myself going atleast once a week.  All my friends do it, and Im hoping to make alot of money!
