I loathe ESPN.
Once there was tv show called “Las Vegas”

I remember one episode had a girl who mistakenly though it was past midnight and she had just turned 18 win a slot jackpot. They got around the law by paying her the amount she won to star in a commercial for the casino.
Which works fine in fiction. Out in reality they’d lose their license if they got caught doing that.
