In the lobby, gambler Ray Capozucca, 67, of Pittston, Pennsylvania, stood beside his packed bags. He had been playing video poker on a slot machine at 7:30 a.m. when a slot attendant told him to leave.

Okay. I just got home from a 3-day backpacking expedition in New Hampshire, so I'm just catching up on this whole "New Jersey is closed until further notice" thing.

Do you suppose this guy was getting an early start, or do you think he's been up since the night before? Do you think he's playing the maximum on the nickel video poker, or do you think he's just playing regular 25 cent poker?

Most importantly.... Who's holding the cup for him? :)
