She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.

    My Dad let me gamble my pocket money away on a fruit machine once.

    I begged him to let me play it, so he agreed as long as it was my money. He explained to me how it would work, and what would happen, but I didn’t care; I had seen people win loads of money. Obviously I lost it all and was devastated.

    I very quickly realised that gambling is rigged, and it’s a mugs’ game.
