Louie Anderson's Hilarious Gambling Adventure & $80,000 Loss!

Wow I didn’t know he died. Funny dude.

[@frankiechileman479]

But not forgotten,...

[@JonesDylan874]

2022's been a sad year so far.

[@jerrystraka7856]

Louie was a gambler alright. I played cards with him and Jeff Cesario in 1981. I was a volunteer at St. Joe's Children home where Louie worked pre-comedy and I lived with 2 of his fellow workers (Jim and Tom). Louie and Jeff would come over often after a comedy set and we'd play into the wee hours. and laugh...god would we laugh. Louie didn't drink, but he could stay up all night playing cards. HE LOVED PLAYING CARDS!! I'll miss his presence and always remember, as good a comedian he was - he was an even better child care worker. Louie cared about people. RIP my friend

[@frankieaddams3937]

You are a good friend to remind us all what a kind heart Louie Anderson had. And you are right. He is missed....

[@thyslop1737]

Cannot imagine hanging out with Louie and the comedy gold he was dropping in addition he must have dropped untold thousands of dollars on gambling.

[@rlhenry99]

Louie Anderson was a great personality I was a limo driver in Las Vegas at the Rio hotel I drove Louie Anderson many Times he was a gentleman he was generous and he was one of the best celebrity personalities that I had ever been involved with he was compassionate and he had a brother that he was very concerned about who had some personal issues I love these stories! And yes I Did Drive Louie Anderson too many of his late night gaming session

[@pamposandreou9655]

I bet you have some stories, treasure them

[@jimmarshall5453]

Please share another story or two per year. He'd want it that way.

[@johnf120]

That devious look on his face at 3:06 remembering when he got up to $90k really says it all about gambling addiction. Reminds me of Uncut Gems.

Is it just me or did Louie seemed more thrilled about winning the $20k at the casino over the $250k cheque for the ad!? That's gambling for ye, rarely it's about the money. Great story though, I love Louie

[@zip-un5tz]

Dude you just made me realize that was him

[@maxcohen13]

My sister used to work at a casino in Minnesota and Louie would do shows there and then come out on the floor to gamble. She would tell me that he would sit at slot machines for _hours_ looking like the walking dead, unkempt, with glazed eyes. He was nice, but she felt sorry for him. He was a mess. Good to see he's surviving this addiction.

[@matth1211]

louie dont play slot ur sisters a lying alut whos probably dead from an 9verdose by now

[@hasbeenbrutal]

matt shine well that escalated quickly

[@themadlibrarian2933]

I'm pretty sure that I saw him playing high-limit video poker at the Venetian back in about 2000. It's easy enough to mistake video poker for a slot machine if you're [playing at one of the slant-top machines without an overhead display.

[@thyslop1737]

He must have had some serious demons he was trying to slay. Any kind of addictions is a cruel master. Cannot imagine the hold gambling must have on people

[@softail1977]

I knew WHO he was by image and voice, but now that he's passed and I'm watching his material, I wish I would have paid attention before....a comedic master at storytelling. RIP Louie

I always loved Lewis Black's take on gambling, specifically slot machines in Vegas: "What you do is you rent a motel room and you go into the bathroom with a bucket full of quarters and you keep flushing down quarters until it backs up and you get some of your money back and YOU FEEL LIKE A WINNER!!!!!"

[@mikec.9130]

Gambling addiction is almost impossible to recover from. It takes years to build up the non-gambling muscle and atrophy the gambling muscle.

[@zemzem8323]

Mike C. - if you want to quit you can do it. There is help out there and you need a good support system from friends and family.

[@daveluttinen2547]

I dropped $5K in a week. For me, that is a fortune, but it was out of savings, not scared money. Still. It hurt. I have not been in a casino except to eat in the last three years. I'm just sick - and every time I am tempted, I think about what that money could have been used for. I hope everyone who suffers from the addiction can beat it. Professional help is also available for those who are wrestling with it. Just saying. Lives get better without addictions.

[@FNNickJamesTV]

Nicoyutub I'd be losing my ass gambling there instead of doing it from home. It sounds funner.

[@jester90991]

+Dunstin Checksin I think the best way to play is set aside however much u can live with throwing away. Then just play small to mid games most of the week and just enjoy the games. Last day you're there you play the final big 3 games. Half your stack on one hand, win or lose you put the rest on another hand (even roll or spin). If you're lucky enough to have a chance at the final bet you put entire stack on black. Time. To. Leave. Hopefully with a huge smile :D

[@techfan7808]

Is gambling more destructive than most drugs? Seems worse than alcohol; and it's all mental, no physical harm. That comes later when Guido wants the money you owe.
