Letter: Casinos to help problem gamblers?

Who are they kidding? If they believe this I would like to sell you some stock in my tapioca mine. It's problem and addictive gamblers that keep these casinos in business.

Can you imagine a player at a blackjack table, losing a bundle of money and the dealer saying: "I'm sorry sir but you can't play anymore. I think you are a problem gambler, we will try and get you some help." The dealer would be looking for a new job the next day.

The way it really works -- if the player shows any indication that he is going to quit they will send the cocktail waitress over with another drink.
