The Freedom Players is part of an emerging citizen movement to stop exploitive gambling in America. Citizens came from across the country to join our first Freedom Player action held in Lynden, Washington in February 2008.
The Freedom Players intend to spotlight the most blatant form of exploitive gambling - slot machines and video poker machines.
Our action is simple but its implications are enormous. We enter the casino, sit down at the slot machines, put in our money - and don't push the 'play' button. We are simply playing the machines the way we want to play them. Apparently, it is not fast enough for the casino owners who consider it entertainment only when you're losing money, sharply contrasting the frantic, continuous play the design and technology of the machines are intended to induce.
