mewho commented that anything can be addictive. True. So can writing comments in the CR. But let’s examine the casino thing again. All business establishments are based on making money. Everyone wants to get paid for their product or service. But in the normal business world, the idea is generating revenue by offering something in exchange, either product or service. Not casinos. Casinos are an exception. It is a (legitimate) business that has the goal to take your money from you while offering you nothing but the fantasy that you are winning something or might be. It is conclusive that the entire industry built on gambling is “legalized” thievery.
Don’t fantasize that it will ever be declared illegal by any level of government. The governments are in the business themselves, whether by running lotteries, or by regulating casinos to collect taxes on the winnings.
