* Personally I do not think I would like someone filming me
winning or losing.

* No Way. BTC429
* Would not mind it at all. The
reason you visit a place like Las Vegas is to have a few drinks, take in
a few shows, have some great food, and not to be forgotten a little
gambling. Would love to see myself winning on film. Tom E.
Smith Wheeling, WV
* Ye I would mind!
What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas. I come to Las Vegas to
relax & have fun, not to be exploited! Dolores Kling

* No I would not mind being filmed
without my permission. The way I see it is there are web cams all over
the country and I have nothing to hide so why would I mind. If anyone
objects it must be because they have something to hide.

* Getting filmed in a casino
wouldn't bother me at all -- my one request would be that there be no
"rear" shots. Joanne K
* I´m think it's ok.... if
is for security of us too and I like to see myself winning a lot of
dollars on TV! Adalberto Iriarte Tepic Nayarit Mexico
* if the casino's film you thru
their surveillance cameras from above and watch people gambling whats
the difference than someone else filming you gambling. Frank

* I would not want to be
filmed while I am gambling in a casino. Letting people scrutinize my
habits would enable total strangers to possibly get to know me better
than I know myself. Mike Adams Cleveland, Ohio
* Yes I would object as someone
who sees the film might get the impression that I am a gambler when in
reality I am only there for fun. Because of the filming I might be
placed in a position of explaining why I was there. Jerry
Steinberg Owings Mills, MD
* Filming people in Casinos is
perfectly legal. It is the right of those filming (like freedom of
speech). If you are afraid of being filmed in a casino, then you
shouldn't be there. Gambling should be a form of entertainment, being
filmed enjoying yourself is perfectly normal. Professional sports
athletes are filmed all the time, sometimes they perform well, other
times, they wished the cameras were not on. If there were cameras
filming in casinos, most of the gamblers would be waving to the
cameras...we love it. Lois Chilenko
* I wouldn't mind someone
taping me. I'd be less nervous & they'd see me being as goofy as I can
be, not worried about the cameras if I knew they were watching. I'd be
much more relaxed & outgoing. Jennifer Graham
* I haven't a problem being
filmed while gambling. Gambling is not something I'm trying to keep from
those who know me. Neither have I told friends/family I'm going to be
elsewhere, only to sneak off the Vegas. HOWEVER, I do not want to be
filmed secretly..., let me know you'll be doing it. I don't want to show
up on THE TRAVEL CHANNEL scratching my crotch or picking my nose.., and
if I win multiple times..., make sure it's obvious I'm also losing. I
don't want the IRS visiting me at home, questioning my apparent string
of wins - unreported most likely. Bruce H. Beane Nashua,
NH
* I wouldn't mind...I tell my wife
I'm going to Vegas with my friends and she thinks I may be screwing
around on her...which I am not...this way she can see for herself I am
just gambling with friends...seeing is believing... Frank

* Nah, who cares if I'm filmed as
long as I'm not the main focus of the filming. If I'm an extra in
something already being filmed why should I care? I'd rather not have
attention drawn to me specifically though. filming. I get scared when a
stranger starts at me with a camera. So, just try to keep it simple if
I'm an extra in a If it bothers me being filmed by you then I might moon
the camera! Hehe! Lawrence Strehl
* Filming for security reasons, in
the casinos is fine, but I would not like to be filmed w/o my knowledge.
I would not like to see myself on any types of TV shows. I'm not that
type of person. Some people may be ok w/that, I like to keep a low
profile. I don't like being in " the spotlight" good, or bad.
