Answer the following questions according to the text.

1 The sentence "these people get a great idea" probably means:

They had an epiphany and are following an enlightened path.
They stole the idea from other people and are now using it.
They think it's a great idea, but it is not.

2 The sentence "Everyone sees those people that are happy and they realize that putting the money in a big pile was really a great idea, they want some money too" is suggesting that:

People share a strong bond and when they see other people winning they know they will, one day, also win.
Winning is for everyone. All they have to do is keep playing.
People are misled to believe that they too will win when in reality it's very unlikely they will.

3 The sentence "But, probably not." at the end of the text probably means that:

It's not likely that they will be able to push buttons on machines.
The odds of anyone actually making money by playing games at the casino are very slim.
One thing is certain, nothing in life is 100% guaranteed.
