This is Planet Money from NPR.

My nephew Seth is a pro at getting money from his parents, so since it is fundraising

season here at NPR I called him for advice.

You have to like work up to it, so like do all my chores without asking.

Then when the time comes they're like wow, that's a nice kid, you know, I would give

him money if he asked for it.

We have been keeping our studios especially clean this week, so please go to donate.np

r.org slash Planet Money.

Be a good kid and you'll get good money.

Quick note, this episode is a rerun.

We made it in 2017.

Ron Flores oversees surveillance at the Pachanga Casino in Southern California, and if that

like calls a picture to your mind of what this guy looks like, slick back hair, suit, ear

piece, Ron is not that guy.

He's got a long black ponytail, he wears jeans to work, one form he's got a tattoo of a medicine

wheel, the other form there's a tattoo of a shield with eagle feathers on it.

Ron's job is to make sure that people are not ripping off his casino, and to do that he

spends a lot of his time in the casino's situation room.

There's a monitor wall, there's monitors in front of the workers, and it's really dark

room.

Like how many screens are we talking about?

Anywhere between 30 to 40.
