The Gaming Commission exists to protect the casino. I think some of the little people are starting to catch on that the deck is stacked against them. The government doesn't care about the citizen. The citizen is a cow to be milked.
And what can the people do about it?
Yeah, and she was ready to be milked. I think it’s outrageous that the casino is refusing to pay out, but she makes 12 grand a year and was in there playing 20 dollar slot machines.
When I read this story, that kept jumping out at me. I see people all the time in convenience stores buying ten and twenty dollar scratch off tickets, and I’d bet most of them make less than twenty grand a year. I’m not rich by any means, but I make multiple multiples of what she makes and I would feel like an idiot putting twenty bucks in a slot machine.
Gambling at casinos has never appealed to me at all. I don’t believe in the Easter Bunny and I don’t believe I’m going to win big at a casino. When Texas first started the lottery I bought a few tickets; I’ve spent maybe forty bucks on one dollar tickets, total. I quit when I realized that I’d stacked up about five of them and hadn’t even bothered to check the numbers cause I knew I wouldn’t win. So I checked them and sure enough, I had something like three total number matches out of all five cards. The only way I’ll get rich is by working and investing and taking care of business. Apparently, though, gambling appeals to a lot of people
