Increased crime and policing. Health care for problem gamblers. More broken families relying on social assistance. Losses to local businesses and charitable organizations as money is drained away by the casino. Most disturbingly, the devastating cost of suicides.

    Gambling can ruin some one's life if taken to extremes. However there will always be a way to do it. Before casinos I knew where Blackjack games were craps games and poker. There are a lot of people who enjoy it and can control it so why do we seek to ban it because of the small minority?

    But maybe we are on to something here. Let's ban the bad drivers, the smokers, the drinkers and such. I don't think my freedoms should be at the whim of someone who can't control themselves in front of a VLT. Just realize in most forms of gambling you are going to lose. Only 5% of all gamblers are winners.
