Sharks are really vegetarians

Casinos, racinos and slot parlors by any name derive 90% of their profits from 10% of patrons.

Their business model depends on creating gambling addicts who commit crimes, cost taxpayers money and degrade the communities in which they exist.

It has been called the most predatory industry to operate without restriction or oversight.

Slots have been designed and engineered to addict and have been called the "Crack Cocaine" of gambling, with no consumer protection.

...Mohegan Sun failed to adequately deal with an addicted gambler from Western Massachusetts who said he lost a net $450,000 mostly at the Connecticut casino over the course of a year.

Scott, 51, of Peru, refused to give his last name after speaking at the press conference about his addiction. Between 2007 and 2008, Scott said he would sometimes gamble 23 hours straight at the Mohegan Sun and often several days a week. “Nobody mentioned a thing about intervention,” Scott said. “They should have some sort of intervention.”

Don't laugh when proponents loudly proclaim --

....the Massachusetts Partnership for Responsible Gambling, an alliance that includes the Mohegan Sun, called for adequate money to be set aside for preventing, intervening and treating problem gambling.

Next, they're gonna tell you sharks are really vegetarians! Stop laughing. They think you'll believe them.
