A casino is a business just like any other business....
I don't really think I even need to say anything more than that...

A business aimed at stupid people who pay you to take their money as long as you take it in an exciting way.

You could say the same about Apple, a product for stupid people 
And there's plenty of not stupid people who are professional gamblers. In fact gambling REALLY benefits extremely gifted people I would say who know statistics well. You could say the same about the stock market. That's just as much as a gamble if not more so |

Preach it bro!
Anyhow I don't think gambling should be illegal. Although certain regulations probably make sense. You shouldn't be able to use your social security check or your disability payment to gamble. But practically speaking I don't know how you can stop people from doing it.

Well, depends what sort of gambling. Slot machines never benefit anyone but the slot machine owner.

I'm not sure, I just found out recently that you have to report anything about something like 500$ so you can pay taxes on it? Is this true? That freakin sucks.

Uh, if the government is sending you a check in the mail I'm pretty sure they can put any conditions on it they want (assuming they don't violate equal protection or something similar).

They make think they can but the black market that exist for such things shows that such thinking is logically flawed
