A review of casino finances finds out that many students and housewives are gambling. These two categories of gamblers are not putting their money on small bets. The audit is pointing out that the two are placing their money on high stakes tables. The finding brings a heavy load on British Columbia’s Attorney General. David Eby is now wondering what else needs to take place. He feels that there is no scrutiny to determine who should gamble.

It is a great surprise to find that all those that gamble in this casino are students and housewives. Also, this begs the question, if indeed they are students and housewives, where does the money come from?
The amount of money on these high-stake tables is much. The BC Attorney asks several questions. One of the questions is, who allows students to play. Where do the housewives get lots of money?

In fact, one ‘student’ places $565, 000 in the high stakes table.
