The crazy part is that the US can already see exactly how this path goes by looking at Austrailia. And unlike Austrailia the US can't rely on high rollers from Asia where gambling is largely illegal.

As a cheapskate who likes casino promos I'm personally pro-gambling, but we need incredibly strong regulations to prevent self destructive levels of it. The stuff you see in the assistance line while adding promos to your players card is crazy. The casino workers don't even question it when people ask for a cash advance on their credit cards.
