Of course, it doesn’t matter if all you want to do is play the games in a casino and win or lose some money.
For the people (mostly APs) who are CONSTANTLY criticizing casinos and blaming them for the things outside their control (like bankruptcies, divorces, suicides, etc) then yes, I think it’s important to know why they exists. If you aren’t blaming casinos for things outside their control, then no, there is no reason to know why they exist.
Casinos exist because our government, which is self governing, wants them to exists. It’s that simple. If you don’t like what casinos do, which is provide negative EV games for the purpose of entertainment, than take it up with our government, take it up with the people of America. Blame them...don’t blame casinos!
Why do I care? Because everytime I say something to defend a casino, I get some goofball, naive, uniformed AP sending me articles about the evils of casinos and all the negatives associated with them. I get it. Everybody who wasn’t born under a rock gets it. Please stop sending me these articles!!!
This will always be the result of casinos opening in new areas. Why? Because there are weak people in our society. As you know Moses, God didn’t make us perfect. It’s the same reason we have alcoholics. It’s the same reason we have fat people. Are the beer companies to blame for alcoholics? Is McDonald’s responsible for fat people. If you follow AP logic to its logical conclusion, then the answer is yes.
