Spending large sums of money you don't have is common during hypomanic episodes. However, I would say that since you are gambling a great deal for a set goal (i.e. to be able to afford an attourney) this probably isn't hypomania. How is your mood when you enter the casino and when you leave? It is something to talk to your doctor about.
