I agree with you about the lack of clocks in casinos, but there are a lot of casino goers that own cellphones that do display the time, so do the huge tv's that are in almost every casino. Slot machines near the exits is just smart, almost every retailer has something to sell set up at the door. That's maximizing floorspace. I'm not ignorant to the problems gambling addicts face, i'm related to one that's going through tough times now, but they all need to seek out help.

Casinos are corrupt because they put measures to intentionally force people to gamble. They dont put clocks in casinos, there are slot machines near the exit for a reason. And why is that? The true intention of casinos is there and easy to see, they are influencing people to gamble to maximize profits for their own benefit. This should be considered criminal. The only reason why the government doesnt step in is because its government owned. ...you can see how our world is madly corrupt.

Gov. Rendell is doing "a lousy job" and puts his friends first in casino matters, Trump fumed. He said he'd probably avoid doing any future casino business in Pennsylvania.
