Sorry, Sir, We're Going To Have To Cut You Off From The Penny Slots
-
So, you like to gamble, and you belong to one of those casino loyalty clubs where you use the card every time you hit the slots or sit at a table. That gives casinos a lot of valuable information on how much you gamble and what you like, and that's great for marketing. But it also gives them the ability to tell that you're a gambling addict, and the question is whether they owe you the duty to call in addiction specialists to help you, or cut you off when you've gambled too much or too long. Is it the casino's responsibility? I'll say this: If the gambler doesn't accept that he or she has a problem and doesn't seek help voluntarily, that problem will not go away no matter what the casino does. (ABC News)
