I've got to agree with Noindex & KillerB. I can fully understand the dopamine rush that accompanies gambling. If I bet $50 on a horse to win the Kentucky Derby-as those horses round the stretch-my juices are gonna be flowing. But when people say my illogical addicted brain takes over & controls my actions when I enter a Casino-I don't buy that for one second. The only person who controls your actions is YOURSELF. Bottom line. The choice to participate in gambling is ones own choice. You make a choice to do it-or you make a choice to not do it. It's really simply a lack of self conrol. Carol O'hare mentions that she sold computers by day. How can someone working in the computer business NOT realize that a computer chip driven video poker machine-in the long run-is going to make more money then it pays out. It's as simple as that. There's no way around it. To waste time deluding yourself that you can overcome the house edge in any of these games is simply idiotic. Gambling is strictly for entertainment-nothing more.
Tony McDew sounds like he's got the smarts to make decent money from his electronics skills. In addition to his job at Mandalay Bay-he could set up a private business servicing people's computers to make extra money-PC repairs. What I find amazing is that Tony-being an electronics individual-should easily realize that a computer chip controlled slot machine-in the long run-is going to keep more-than it pays out. There's no way around it. Tony-make money off your working skills and stay away from the Casino nonsense. Good luck to you.
Lewis Black is an intellectual & hilarious comedian much the same as George Carlin was. The guy's great.
777irish is exactly right. When an industry neglects their cutomers-those customers don't forget & they won't come back. What goes around-comes around.

This divorce was handled 100% correct. They both can still work well together during their business day and at the end of the day-they can go their seperate ways. It works out for everybody involved-including the shareholders.
