Descripción

Peter Parker has accompanied his Aunt May and her tenants on a trip to Atlantic City. In one of the casinos, Peter and May watch as Nathan Lubensky gambles. Peter’s Aunt is worried about Nathan’s gambling, an obsession she hadn’t seen before. Losing money, Nathan insists to May that he needs to win back the money he has already lost, saying he will catch up with her and the others later. May is upset by this, but Victor Palmero tries to cheer her up. However, she can’t stop moping since she told Nathan to find a new boarding house to live in, but even though he can’t afford to move here he is gambling away what little money he does have. Peter tries to convince himself that he won’t give into the lure of gambling since he only budgeted a dollar to do so. However, when he wins a jackpot at one machine, he decides to continue gambling until, twenty minutes later, he had blown all his winnings. Having learned his lesson, Peter suggests that they get some ice cream and go for a walk along the boardwalk. Aunt May likes this idea, but the Palmeros decide to stay at the casino to see if there are any bingo tables.
