Reporter this morning as the sun came up over the graton resort and casino, it was business as usual. But it was a very different story over overnight. Overnight, the bright lights were replaced with this darkness and confusion. And instead of happy gamblers inside, we found unhappy and confused people outside. People like monica lynch who described for us what it was like when the power went off just before 11 00. We were gambling. The power we were gambling the power went out and everyone kind of gasped and theres a lot of ticked off people in there. Reporter this was the cause a car verses a utility pole. That crash affected more than 3600 people. When you include a casino among those affected, you also have to account for the gamblers. If you were at a table, you seemed to be okay. This man took out his cell phone, you can see there was enough light to cash people out. But if you were at a machine, it was a different story. Pit bosses covered up our stuff. The machines went blank. A few stayed on. Some people kept playing. Reporter one man we talked to, his machine went dark with a couple hundred bucks inside. They are telling us to get out and without saying anything, they say go. Well just call you and you get your money back. I promise. Theres no promises. We left money here. We travel from tw hours two hours away and going out with no money, no money for gas . Reporter its still unclear how many people are in the same boat as that man from san jose.
