    Gambling is a terrible addiction. We should treat users and work to eradicate suppliers. Why is it so hard for humans to improve their own condition?!

    Honestly the high street casinos are one of the strangest things in this country.

    I literally don’t think I’ve ever seen someone step into one, yet they’re on every high street. You see old fellas using the sport betting shops a bit, but never these mini casinos

    Does it literally only take the occasional poor sod to keep these places open or are people just getting in when it opens and not leaving until it closes?

      You’re right actually, I can’t think of ever seeing anybody go in/out of one. Laundering perhaps.
