You go to a bar and start drinking too much and eventually they kick you out. In a casino, they let you throw away all of your money regardless of the damage it may cause that person. I know it’s popular with many people around the world but I never saw the appeal. I went to Atlantic City during the early days of gambling and the place was full of mafia wannabe floor bosses that made my skin curl. Plus, it’s usually a tacky environment.

Last time I was in Vegas and went to some bars where the locals hang out, even there they might have video poker games embedded in the bars themselves. The locals, who all work in the industry in some way, would still sit there feeding money in. I never saw anyone get booted no matter how drunk they were. Then again, these were some serious dives with people who seemed to have several addiction problems, IYKWIM.
