Russell Crowe says one trip to Reno made him realize he could become addicted to gambling ā€œI went to Reno, Nevada. I had X amount of money. I was doing well in my career, but I didn't have a lot of cash. I had a couple hundred dollars in my pocket, that's all. I went and had a beer and started playing blackjack on a $5 tableā€ ā€œI'm playing and I did pretty well. I amassed a few hundred dollars, feeling very cocky and confident about myself. And I probably had one beer too many. I went for a walk down the street, saw a roulette table, and thought, that'll be me. Everything I won, I lostā€ ā€œBy the time I got my shit back together, I had $25 in my pocket. I'm in Reno. I've got a quarter tank of gas, I gotta get back to L.A., and I don't have a credit card. So I go back to the same $5 blackjack table. When I got to $190, which I knew was gonna be enough to get me back with petrol and food, I stoppedā€ ā€œI got out into the car park of this hotel, it’s 11 or midnight, and I just started vibrating. My whole body was shaking like I was having some kind of fit. I got back to the hotel room and called my mom collect in New Zealand. I said, ā€˜I just did this. I went through this.’ She said, ā€˜There's something I've never told you. Your great-grandfather was a professional gambler. At one point in time, he gambled his house away. He had to go wake up his daughters and wife and tell them this is where they no longer live.ā€ ā€œThat one act kept that family, in relative terms, poor for another two generations. That one impulsive act, to gamble his house. I know it's in me, so I don't go anywhere near itā€
