I’m writing to ask for your help with a story by a high-profile news media outlet investigating the types of business practices used by casino "hosts" to encourage citizens to gamble at casinos. Also called "player development representatives," the casino employees are assigned to citizens with the explicit purpose to extract as much money as possible, using an almost limitless variety of tactics to do so. It's important to note that state governments are complicit with these tactics. The reporter is looking to speak to people with specific knowledge and experience with these "hosts." If you or anyone you know is willing to share their knowledge and experience to spotlight this serious issue, please send me their contact info and I'll connect them with the journalist. Thanks for your help.
