I started to panic. And actually, when I finally told, you know, I told Cameron, I'm like, this is what's going on. Like, I don't know how to handle it. And that's when he said, OK, you're good at these slots. Win back. Because he's seen me win tons of money on them. So I said, OK, but you kind of go down this rabbit hole.

You know, I told you, my dad's quote to me is, winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. And so you get competitive against a stupid machine, and you should know better than to gamble against the house. Like, it doesn't ever pay off, ever.

When I first arrived to the win, that's all I would do. I actually didn't even unpack my suitcase. I would literally pop open the champagne, open the back door for Kula to go potty, and then I would take my champagne and go, go to the slot machines. Zara was spiraling. I actually don't really sleep much. I never did anyways, because I took Adderall, so I was always awake.

The Adderall and the alcohol was a cocktail of focused haze. Every time I would drink, I would take a pill. Drink, take a pill, because it would keep me alert, but also calm. When you take Adderall, you have a very bad short-term memory, so you don't think about certain things. Plus, with the alcohol, it just kind of makes your reality just kind of euphoric in a way. Also invincible.

So we'd go back to the villa. I would tuck him in bed. I would change, you know, into my comfy clothes and put on, you know, my yoga pants and my Chanel sweater and my Chanel sneakers. And then at three in the morning, go back out into the slots.

Now, I was the only one who could hit as many bonuses, you know, in a day. People would just watch me like I was in a zoo. But it was a really incredible game once you felt the rhythm of it. And then I knew how to bet properly and I would hit these big bonuses.

Depending on how the night went, I would either stay awake till 6 to 7 a.m. the next day and continue gambling the whole entire day.

So I would go back out at 6 a.m. to the slot machines.
