The article says her losses were $3.7m, but the amount she gambled far greater. > Mr Zeuschner has calculated that Clerke would have put a staggering $20 million through the poker machines at St Marys over the 17 years she was stealing money from his business. Perhaps she was repatriating the winnings, and so the signal of her losses were masked over time. $3.7m over 17 years = $218,000 per year.
