Massachusetts ‘GAMING’ Future
What other entertainment venue do you know of that makes their patrons act like this? And how many of these angry casino patrons go home and take their ‘losses’ anger out on their loved ones.

Gamblers have been known to get frustrated by a run of bad luck, but spokesmen for two area casinos say it's unusual for a patron to vandalize a slot machine.
Pau Khup Lian, 28, of New Castle was cited for disorderly conduct on Thursday night. He was accused of “spitting on and kicking a slot machine” at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino in North Strabane, state police said.
Lian, who was cited at 10 p.m. by Trooper Michael J. Kirsopp, will be sent a summons from a district judge giving him the option to either plead guilty and pay a fine or request a hearing.
“I am not sure if this is the first time (something like this has happened) or not. Disturbances in general are very rare,” Tom Meinert, a spokesman for The Meadows, said on Friday.
Meinert said he did not know if the machine was damaged or has to be replaced.
“The crowd that comes to The Meadows are there to enjoy all forms of entertainment, the slots or the table games or the races. It's really somewhat family oriented.”
Jack Horner, a spokesman for Rivers Casino on the North Shore, agreed that problems like this do not occur often.
“This is a very rare occurrence and is not a major problem at Rivers Casino,” Horner said.
