The Gambling Ghost

A group of paranormal investigators, led by the eccentric psychic Vincent, attempts to capture the ghost of a notorious gambler named "Lucky" Lou. Lou's spirit is said to haunt a casino, causing chaos and bringing misfortune to anyone who crosses his path. The team uses a variety of outlandish methods and devices to lure and trap the spectral high-roller, leading to a series of comedic and spooky encounters.
