SAN MANUEL RESERVATION - There may be no better example that gambling continues to grow as a leading recreation for adults than the poker boot camp on Wednesday at the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.

That's right, a camp for adults to spend $500 for a day of learning from esteemed poker pro Annie Duke.

It was a bill to pay for Josh Woods, a 25-year-old San Bernardino man who has been playing poker in casinos for about a year.

"I was losing a lot of money at poker so I thought, `Why not spend some money to learn that I'd just lose instead,"' Woods said.
