[Smokin' Joe]

State, local and federal governments are broke, so why instead of cutting the size and spending of government, does government become involved in gambling schemes?

The games are skewed toward the house.

It's like casinos. Sure, some folks leave with more than they came in with, but on average, the house rake on a slot machine is 30% (some more, some less) of every dollar fed in...

Big winners are great advertisement to bring in a multitude of 'small' losers.
