I believe that people who wish to gamble should go to casinos with a limited sum of money they are willing to lose and get it out of their system.

My wife and I used to have a summer home in Cape May, New Jersey and we would go up to Atlantic City once in a while for a night out. We would always only bring a few hundred each and we would either leave with money in our pocket, or the amount we lost was no big deal.

I can remember the first time that we saw that Casino's had now installed ATM's on their floor. Personally, I'm against that. That is just making it too easy for someone that may already have a gambling problem to just make it worse. I can only imagine how many husbands, or wives, were out gambling at the casino and cleaning out the bank account while the other sat at home unaware of the money being withdrawn.

Of course, there would be nothing to stop them from just going to the ATM at the bank and doing the same thing but I think placing those ATM's right on the casino floor for "convenience" is over the top.
