Does Hawaii have a Lottery? I guess we're talking mainly about casino gambling. In my state they (the people that wanted lottery) made it sound really great and "supposedly" set it up where thousands of dollars from the proceeds would go to Texas "Educations". All this looks good on paper but in fact barely a few cents on the dollar goes toward education. It kinda reminds me of one of those scam charities. Oddly, our education system has dropped in overall standing since we started the lottery.
My mom (the addiction counsler) goes over to the river boats in Louisiana every chance she gets. Mommy has lil problem with the slot machines. [}
] "but it's not an addiction" Yeah right! Like another poster mentioned we always hear about the big wins never about the three-four trips before and after. Freakin slot machhines take twenty to fifty dollars a throw these day and it's all computerized. My step-father has introduced my mother to the guys who set up and run the machines and they told her the chances of her winning are slim and none. But she'll have nothing to do with reality.
When I first went out to Vegas a friend of mine told me, as we stood at the front of the casino by the slots, "don't even look at the slots they're what built this city and what continues to pay the electric bills today, don't even slow doan near the slots". I remember thinking how that sounded like good advice and how cool my MOM was for telling me.
