Steve Wynn interview on 60 Minutes

Did anyone watch the Steve Wynn interview on 60 Minutes last night?

I found it a bit odd that he basically called the people who made him rich suckers.

"I want to understand a bit about the casino business," Rose remarked.

"So do I," Wynn joked.

He told Rose the only way to win in a casino is to own one, "unless you're very lucky."

And he says, even when people are lucky, they usually gamble away their winnings.

"You have never known in your entire life a gambler who comes here and wins big and…walks away?" Rose asked.

"Never," Wynn replied.

"You know nobody hardly that over the stretch of time is ahead?" Rose asked.

"Nope," Wynn said.
