Reply to comment by squall571 in NY officially solicits bids for casino with license fee set at $500M by geoxol

Casinos are fun and harmless to 99% of the people who go. Why should New York continue to lose money to Connecticut and New Jersey?

societal decay.

It's a lack of education because people think they're gonna win. A lack of activities because people don't have anything else to do but go and lose money amidst faux luxury and flashing lights. And the casinos market hard towards the exact sort of poor, uneducated people who can't afford to go there.

I used to think I could win and then I started looking around the casino wondering how they could afford to run this place....
