In a first-ever look behind the scenes, this film reveals the highly organized network of mathematicians, musicians and designers all working toward the single vision of ensuring we lose when gambling, and keep on losing. In addition to hearing from neuroscientists, anthropologists and game theorists explain the science behind addiction, we meet those victims who have fallen prey to what they describe as ""unlawful hypnotism."

 

And at the end of this trail of destruction caused by gambling lies the government. Too reliant on revenue to fill budget holes, the government has become the greatest addict of all."
