You mean those cardrooms in Chinatown don't attract the criminal element? What about the video gambling places that get busted once a year over in Hilo? Not to mention all the not so casual poker nights at someones home that last all night with cars parked around the corner? Have heard several tales of sportsbetting bankrupting folks just in East Hawaii. Can only imagine Oahu must be worse...
Gambling is here already, time to tax and regulate.
