Has there ever been a more criminal business than the casino? Burden the people with debt and make them so desperate that they'll throw away what little they have left for the fleeting hope that all their dreams will come true. They show us pictures of the "winners", massive jackpots that change lives. But they don't show us pictures of the thousands of losers. Nor do they tell us how those jackpot winners fair years after they collect - bankrupt, destitute, even worse off than they were before. They're selling a dream and you're buying. And if that weren't enough, they go even further. They ply you with alcohol. They even rig their tables to tilt the already ridiculous odds so far in their favour that there is no way the house ever loses. And if you somehow beat those odds they accuse you of cheating and get their goons to beat their money out of you.
