One of the many reasons why I can't stand my old hometown.
But, I don't blame the gambling at all. Some people can handle it and set limits without attitude issues. And others...... *shudder*
Whenever I used to go back and visit my parents, my mom loved to play bingo, so I'd go with her. In between sessions, she liked to play nickel machines. But, she always limited herself, and wasn't drawn into the whole, "I won $10! I bet I can win more! I feel lucky today! And look how big those jackpots are!" mind trap.
