“Playing the Machines” is a moving and informative documentary directed by Barbara Doran and produced by Morag Loves Company in association with CBC Newsworld. VLTs and slots in Canada bring in more money than all the gambling combined in Las Vegas, and most of that money comes from a growing number of people who never dreamed they'd ever get hooked. This film tells their stories. RSVP to Joan Swinimer (joan.swinimer@cdha.nshealth.ca) or call 424-2021 by Oct. 15.
