When gambling is legalized in Springfield, Mr. Burns opens an extravagant
casino on the boardwalk. Homer is hired as a blackjack dealer despite his
counting difficulties and Marge finds herself drawn to the slots, where she
begins to spend all of her time. Meanwhile, cashing in on the trend, Bart
opens his own casino in his treehouse. Luckily, Bart escapes the same fate
as Mr. Burns, who starts to go crazy from owning a casino. Shut up in his
sterile penthouse suite, Burns stop cutting his nails and hair and starts
wearing tissue boxes as slippers. Down on the casino level, Homer must force
Marge to give up her slot machine addiction.
