I never had the casino force me to gamble. It sounds like from some comments its the casino fault. But at the end of the day its the person fault.

Should we blame Ford, GM, Chrysler, UAW and MDOT for deaths in car accidents?

Apples to oranges comparison, but I DO see your broader point.

The specific and problematic issue with our casinos relative to Detroit and Detroiters is availability and proximity, coupled with a situation of desperation. There are many Detroiters who would have never flown to Vegas to gamble regularly, or perhaps wouldn't have become habitual gamblers if that entailed great travel, planning, or forethought.

IMO distance gamblers who do Vegas, etc. are more likely to spend discretionary income. Neighborhood gamblers are spending money they can hardly afford.

With proximity to gambling houses here some people just got 'caught up'. I am not EXCUSING the behavior, but I saw it happen. You see otherwise rational people, day and night, nickle and dime themselves into a place of regret.

But just as the 'first' day you walk into those joints, you have be responsible and own up to problem, cut your looses [[realizing you'll never get the money back) and walk out that final, last time.

Yeah, what next, blaming tobacco companies for targeting children in their advertising and making an addictive yet cancer-causing product?

I rarely go to casinos. People need to realize that you're BUYING entertainment, and in the long run you'll never win.

Hell, even if you develop a scientific method such as counting cards in blackjack, it's considered cheating and you're threatened and kicked out[[even though it involves no collusion, just brain-power).

You do not understand the disease of compulsive gambling, and the degree to which the casinos encourage the disorder and profit off of the money generated from its sufferers. I would say that well over half of their regular repeat patronage comes from compulsive gamblers.
