If there is to be legalized gaming, it should be done by the private sector not by the state government.

I've always kinda figured that people who blow the rent money on the lottery would find some other way to piss it away if the lottery wasn't there.

I agree 100% Gambling should be legal only for private entities. For the government to be promoting gambling as the way to get rich, instead of hard work and self-reliance, is unseemly at best, disgusting and socially destructive at worst.
Government-run gambling gives people on the lower half of the bell curve the idea that this is a credible and sanctioned way for the downtrodden to improve their lives.
