She lost nearly $1 million at Atlantic City's casinos, and now she wants them to pay. Arelia Margarita Taveras says they had a duty to notice her compulsive gambling problem and cut her off. She's suing six casinos for $20 million. Experts say it's a longshot. Taveras said she was so addicted to gambling that she would go days at a time without eating or sleeping, brushing her teeth with disposable wipes so she didn't have to leave the table. Sometimes, she'd pass out.
