FROM: NoPlainvilleRacino

Reason #19 to VOTE NO SLOTS: ...

Slots are the “crack cocaine” of gambling:

"It's important for voters to understand how these machines work. Every feature of a slot machine — its mathematical structure, visual graphics, sound dynamics, seating and screen ergonomics — is calibrated to increase a gambler's ‘time on device’ and to encourage ‘play to extinction,’ which is industry jargon for playing until all your money is gone ... - Dr. Natasha Dow Schüll, Assistant Professor at MIT, and author of the book Addiction by Design

VOTE NO SLOTS on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th.
The polls are open 8am to 8pm.

COME TO OUR FORUM
Sunday, September 8th, 4pm at the Senior Center

Please get the word out to your neighbors and friends by sharing our Countdown of Reasons to VOTE NO.
