Thanks for the positive comment. Expanded gambling was defeated in Kentucky once again in 2008 but the gambling industry will never give up. The battle will have to be fought again when the General Assembly reconvenes in 2009.

this stuff is not funny. these casinos take full advantage of those who fall prey. ever wonder why you can cash a check at a casino but you can't pay a bill? its sick.

[robertreeves1960]

You are definitely right about that! The gambling industry makes it all seem so wonderful but there's nothing wonderful about the suffering that gambling addiction brings.

If the government made it compulsory to make it possible for you to pay a bill if its possible for you to cash a cheque - a lot of gambling would end. Soon as you got the money for the bill - you could pay it and walk out knowing you won.

Gambling will continue to become more widespread and casinos will continue to make the odds of winning even worse. As a result, the casinos score less money that they could be taxed on and more people lose it all. Only when Jesus Christ returns will all that become put to an end. Until then, we need to do whatever it takes to win souls to Christ and try to convince them to avoid such a sinful activity!
