In any event i like gambling, and I like movies -- im sure amarillo slim has some kind of awesome story to tell

Even if it ever did come out, I'm not sure I could let myself spend money on it since some small amount of it would benefit Amarillo Slim directly. I didn't know much about what kind of guy he was until a few months ago when he stayed at Winstar for a while, where my sister works. After hearing how he treated my sister and the other girls there, I have no respect for him. A promotional deal with Winstar fell through because of how he acted. He isn't even allowed on the property anymore.

What did he do to your sister?

My sister works in the hotel, so she had less contact with him than some of the others, but his conduct in general was inappropriate. The things he said and did easily qualify as sexual harassment, although I don't remember the specifics. I believe he may have touched a couple of the girls inappropriately, and I know that he said many things that he shouldn't have. Some of what he said wouldn't be so bad (IMO) if it were an isolated incident, but taken in context with everything else he said and did during that visit, it was unacceptable. I know that it was bad enough that they were changing the schedule to get more guys working to replace some of the girls while he was there. Also, they made it clear that only males could drive the shuttle from the hotel to the casino when he rode. I guess they were in the process of working out a promotional deal for the casino, but they canceled that idea and ended up banning him from all of the Chickasaw properties.
