MISTER JACKPOT

Creating inside the audience the same emotions of a compulsive gambler through the power of theatre and storytelling.

AN EMOTIONAL EXPLORATION OF COMPULSIVE GAMBLING. A journey in the perverted excitement it triggers in all of us, in order to observe from a different perspective an ever-increasing phenomenon.

The sinister attraction to gambling revealed by Mister Jackpot, a disciple of the gambling demon.

Mister Jackpot lives in Lexington, Kentucky, United States. He leads a double life. On the one hand, the monotony of a job at a gardening equipment company, on the other, the dream of being a winner like James Bond: money, women, luxury cars. The chance encounter with a slot machine will allow him to release the darker side of his personality, unleashing an addiction fueled by his inner demon, with whom he has made a diabolical pact.
