Casino.

So today it was cold and rainy; to fill some time we dropped into a casino, the likes of which you do not see in the UK. I was pretty shocked to see people sat at rows and rows of slot machines, (which take notes, not coins, by the way) literally feeding their compulsion to win by feeding the machines hundreds of dollars. It's so easy for people to be parted with their cash here - there are ATMs in the same room!

For some, this is a way of life.
