Sandra Adell was many things, but a slot machine queen? Come on. She was a respected member of the UW-Madison faculty and an accomplished actress. And yet, on Feb. 4, 2007, Super Bowl Sunday, this accomplished, smart and self-reliant woman interrupted her drive home to Madison from St. Paul – where she was artist in residence at the prestigious Penumbra Theatre – to play the slots at Majestic Pines Casino in Black River Falls. She stayed two hours and lost $1,500.
