– I can’t recall, I earlier in the ‘Luksusfælden’ve seen so wild a diversepost.
As cash describes the ‘Luksusfælden’-expert Carsten Linnemann they 24.800 crowns, as the evening’s participating – 23-year-old Nicolai from Helsinge – each month spend on large and small – primarily gambling.
– This is not play money, Nicolai. It is real money, and that is what you on average spent each month on ‘miscellaneous’, complements the expert Mette Reissmann.
Nicolai lives in a small caravan in a companion’s back yard, since he in spite of a reasonable income has managed to play everything he owns away.
When the money runs out, borrowing the Minister for family and friends or clicking to new, expensive payday loans on the phone. It has been his sister, Christina, to tell him to ‘Luksusfælden’.
– It affects me very much, because when Nicolai has it bad, he has used me very much, and I don’t know how I should help him more. I think I have tried, says a tearful Christina in the program.

Nicolai plays daily, and when it goes worst for him, it is large sums of money going up in smoke. Previously, he has managed to lose a staggering 85,000 of dollars on measly four days.
– do you Know how much you’ve played of each day, ask Mette Reissman.
– No, but I can remember that last year I went, my sister and her husband my finances through, and there I had the game for a half million, the equivalent of a guiltily Nicolai.
Nicolai dream to get an apartment again and return to a normal life, but it requires that he gets a handle on its spilafhængighed, thus seriously puts experts to the test.
Mette Reissmann and Carsten Linnemann quickly realize that they do not have the professional skills to help Nicolai with his gambling addiction and need to get reinforcements from the outside.
the Question is just whether they are in time out, and whether the Minister is prepared to receive the help.
