Going for Broke is a 2003 Canadian-American made-for-television drama film directed by Graeme Campbell and starring Delta Burke, Elliot Page,[a] Matthew Harbour, Francis X. McCarthy and Gerald McRaney.

As a special treat, the family attends a restaurant that doubles as a casino, where Laura plays the slot machines with the encouragement of Jim and Bella, an elderly compulsive gambler who claims that her own habits are all just social in nature.

After winning five hundred dollars, Laura becomes addicted to the restaurant's machines and soon begins spending much of her free time at the casino; meanwhile, she gets hired on as a director for a large medical charity and gets friendly local benefactor Brad Bradford to donate money and help recruit potential donors.

Increasingly unable to find time for her family as she juggles her career and her gambling habits, Laura misses Jennifer's school mother-daughter tea party and pawns Tommy's bicycle.

Laura later hits the jackpot on a video poker machine, receiving $50,000 and a free weekend in an expensive hotel room, but Jim is displeased, noting that his wife has pawned sentimental family items from his ancestors, as well as electronics belonging to the children.
