Gambling has been a
form of
entertainment since
the beginning of
time. Today
gambling
establishments have
created a world with
in a world of beauty
and elegance in
order to entice you
to enter their
enterprise. They do
not discriminate and
cater to all income
levels. They even
went as far as to
install penny slot
machines to entice
senior citizens and
lower income
families. The bottom
line is if you have
money they are
willing to take it.
The gambling
establishments do
not twist your arm
to get you there.
They use a subtle
subliminal approach
to affect your
senses.
The gambling
establishments use
the following to
keep you coming back
time and time again
even if you do not
have the financial
resources:
Provide round trip
transportation, food
vouchers and
gambling coupons
Rate your play so
you can buy things
at the local gift
shops.
Send you a fifty
dollar gas vouchers
to their gas
stations located on
the gambling
establishment
Send you gift
certificates at
holiday time. They
even include a
letter to remind you
that you can
purchase your
holiday gifts while
you are enjoying the
life of luxury.
They bring in the
best entertainers
like Cher, Olivia
Newton John, Clay
Aiken, Burt Reynolds
and more.
Every half hour when
you're at home you
see show tune
commercials that you
just want to sing a
long to.
Sponsoring local
events and the news
Donating to
revitalization zones
Donating to local
charities
Technological
advanced futuristic
nightclubs
A birthday
celebration for you
They send gambling
coupons that you
could win up to
$25,000.00
The list goes on and
on. People need to
realize that the
gambling
establishments are
using your money and
others to lure you
to go there. Once
you are there they
got you. I remember
going with friends
to the night club
located in the
middle of the casino
surrounded by gaming
tables. On the
drive there we all
agreed we were not
going to gamble.
Our goal was to use
the free tickets,
dance and forget all
the stress in our
lives. That was our
intention. After
the club closed
every one was still
wide awake and we
didn’t want to go
home. We all agreed
to play for an
hour. The next
thing we know it was
five in the
morning. We headed
home with our tail
between our legs,
because we all lost
more then fifteen
hundred dollars. We
had an average loss
of three hundred
dollars per person.
We were all in shock
and said we are
never going to do
this again. Only to
repeat the same
pattern over and
over.
Gambling
establishments use
these incentives on
individuals who are
addicted to gambling
from straying to
far. These places
understand what they
need to do to keep
you coming back time
and time again.
We are living in a
new world we’re
gambling is playing
a major part. It’s
time to for people
to take control and
educate themselves.
The next time the
gambling
establishments send
you an offer, you
know it’s not worth
your time and
effort.
