Look, I ran a bar in a state where every single bar has gambling. We weren't big, but we had loyal clients. We'd pull in 400 bucks a night in drink sales and 1900 on a good night in gambling. If someone's hitting that machine hard, they get free drinks because the house always wins. Even when someone hits 1200 bucks, it's like "FUCK YEAH" because everyone's gonna start putting their money in when they know the machines pay. And the person who won that 1200? Probably gonna put every single dime of it back in over the next week. The thing about gambling addiction is that almost everyone in existence starts off with it, and has to learn to control it or endure lesson after lesson until they do.
