Are you obtuse, or being obstinate on purpose?
Yes, a lot of people lose money gambling. Many consider it the same as spending money for entrtainment. They also pay for shows, meals, hotels, drinks, etc. This does not make them “losers.”
But at any rate, you still apparently missed the damned point.
You always jump straight to insults don’t you. Shows you have a little mind.
Who cares what happens to Vegas. Let the unions destroy it, please.
But think about it. The tourists that go there to gamble absolutely enjoy getting scammed by games that are rigged to take their money!
I’ve never understood how people can do that.

This may give you a feeling about how I feel in that I am in agreement with driftdiver.
I think gambling should be legal. I think prostitution should be legal. But I also agree with G. K. Chesterton:
“The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.”
You can defend casino gambling all you want. It is not a virtue in any way, shape or form.
