How Casinos Enable Gambling Addicts

Modern slot machines have a destructive effect on many players, resulting in some losing their jobs, families and lives, like Scott Stevens.

On the morning of the first day of the week, August 13, 2012, Scott Stevens loaded his brown hunting handbag into his personal Jeep Grand Cherokee and followed it to a locked room where he embraced his wife of 23 years, Steisi. "I like you better," he said.

Steisi actually agreed with her husband to interview and become a psychoanalyst. In return, he traveled 22 miles from his home in Shoubenville, Ohio, to the Mountaineer Casino near New Cumberland, West Virginia. He checked his bank account balance at a casino with an ATM. It had the chance that one of these payments would be enough to help it.

But it didn't. He held out for the next four hours, burning $13, 000 out of his account and carrying all his winnings back to his car until he had $4, 000 left. In the afternoon, he surrendered.

The 52-year-old Stevens left the casino and wrote Steige a five-page notice. In the past, he, the chief operating officer of Louis Berkman Investments, had given her the money with great care, allowing her to avoid responsibility for his fees, and leaving her personal loans intact and secure: she was required to put $4, 000 in a deposit, move her way into a new billing account, waive payments on funds owed to the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, not to pay attention to his obligations on credit cards (that were framed with just his name), file tax returns, and subscribe to receive benefits for the loss of a breadwinner in terms of public assistance. He asked to be cremated.

In fact, he wrote, "I cried like a child" thinking about how much he doted on her and their three daughters. "Our family could sink even further if I didn't get closer. In fact, I'm a little sorry I forced you."

He put the message and the check in an envelope, drove to the Shoubenville post office, and mailed it. Then he went to the Jefferson Kibanis Youth Football Club. He kept his manners in these lush fields, trimmed them with his lawnmower, and watched his daughters play.

Stevens parked his personal SUV in a gravel lot and called Ricky Gerbst, the Cleveland lawyer who gave Squire Patton Boggs his interest in Berkmans, where Stevens had worked for 14 years. In fact, they stole the company's methods and didn't fire him in order to support their gambling habits.

Stevens asked him to ask the company to continue paying his daughters' college tuition. He had received notice that the company's payments would stop in the fall semester. The daughters' issues were the final blow.

Gerbst said he would actually send the request.

Stevens then basically told Gerbst he was going to kill himself.

"I'm going to," Stevens said, and again hung up the phone.

He then called J. Timothy Bender, a Cleveland tax accountant. Up until this stage, he had been brave with Bender, saying he would actually assume his obligations and settle his personal terms. And now he told Bender he was going to settle. Alarmed, Bender tried to dissuade him. "Listen, this is pretty hard," he said. "I'm going to do it." Click.

At 4:01 p. m., Stevens sent the news: "You're better." And then he got the same news from one of his three-year-old daughters.

He took off his glasses, glucose monitor and insulin pump (Stevens was a diabetic) and folded them neatly into his blue thermometer along with a sandwich and an apple.

He unwrapped his Browning 12-caliber automatic pistol, pointed the gun at him, and sat down for a while from a railroad pillar adjacent to the parking lot.

He then called 911 and told him about his project.

Cott Stevens was no gambler. A citizen of Rochester, New York, he earned a master's degree in business and money from the Rochester Institute and became a successful businessman. He gained the trust of steel magnate Louis Berkman and rose to the position of chief operating officer at Berkman's company. When she first met with Stage in 1988, he insisted that she immediately wipe out her credit card debt. "It's all about your credit," he told her.

The following year, they got married and had three daughters. Thanks to his status at the Berkman office, Stubenville lived a comfortable life, including si x-digit salary, three cars, two country club membership, and vacation in Mexico. Stevens loved the daughters and participated in the activities that would be used for them. In addition to football fields, they also collected funds for repairing high schools, building new science labs, and traveling to French clubs in French clubs. On weekends, I painted high school cafeteria with paint and washed the floor in the corridor.

Stevens first challenged the casino when he participated in a trade fair in Las Vegas in 2006. On a subsequent trip, he hit a big hit with a slot machine and fell in love.

Eventually, Scott and Stacy began to go to Las Vegas several times a year. I loved hanging out the shop, working on the pool, and sometimes playing with my husband on a slot machine. In the summer, I visited Grand Canyon, Hooverdam and Disneyland with children. After returning to Japan, Stevens became a regular Mountainian casino. For the next six years, his interest in gambling has turned into a slave. But he occasionally won the jackpot, of which some of them reached six digits.

Did Scott Stevens die without suppressing gambling poisoning? Or was it a victim of the system designed to be carefully designed to get into his weaknesses?

Stevens was hiding his obedience in a meticulous manner. He managed all the couple's economical things. The bank account was separate. For communication that uses gambling as an excuse, I used my personal address: W-2G (tax return to declare gambling prizes), telemed by telephone, mail from casinos. Even his best friend and his brothe r-i n-law Karl Nelson, who was playing with Stevens, did not notice his dilemma. "When I heard this, I was shocked." I didn't even know that there was Scott. < Span> The following year, they got married and had three daughters. His status at the Berkman office.

When Stevens got funds at the casino, he had the privilege of simultaneously writing company checks from Berkman's account, cashing the checks, and going to the casino with the new funds, sometimes three or four times a day. His colleagues didn't mind that he didn't have access to the office because they preferred his job to manage other business in another room. By the time the company realized the violation and confessed the extent of their spending, Stevens -- a serious and respectable trustworthy company man -- had kidnapped nearly $4 million.

Steis didn't hint at this. In Vegas, Stevens always intended to join her and the girls for lunch. He arrived in time for dinner. When he told her on Saturday afternoon that he had been practically sent to the office, she asked no questions. As a result, she was stunned when she received a call from him on January 30, 2012, with the bad news. She was standing on the stairs with her linen in her arms when the phone rang.

"Steis, I have something to tell you."

She felt the burden in his voice. "Who died?" "I couldn't actually look you in the eye, so I have to say it for you on the phone." He was silent for a while. She waited. "Maybe now I'll go home without work. I brought the money." "That doesn't matter. "How much? A million dollars?" "More?" "Steece, this is enough." For example, Stevens has not confessed how much he stole or how often he gambled. Even after his subsequent dismissal, Stevens continued to gamble five or six times a week. He even played on his own wedding anniversary and his daughters' birthdays. Steece discovered that he was actually more irritable than usual and sometimes fell into girlhood, but in fact he decided that this was due to the lack of work. When he went to the casino, he told her that he had been to a psychoanalyst, worked in a network, and had other meetings. He donated that he was basically chasing online trading when the funds were from random wins. Meanwhile, they were living off the $50, 000 Stege had kept in a separate account, destroying their 401(k)s for $150, 000, draining $50, 000 from his wife and daughter's Etrade accounts, maxing out his own credit cards, and writing off all of the $110, 000 in loans he had taken out with PNC Bank.

Stege hadn't realized the extent of her husband's addiction until the day three police officers were seen at her doorstep with news of his death.

Stage then investigated gambling loans and the way slot machines attract and disburse purchasers. In 2014, she filed a lawsuit against Mountaineer Casino and International Gaming Technology, the manufacturer of the slot machines her husband played on. The basic question of who killed Scott Stevens was controversial. Did he die because he could not afford his own waste of gambling? Or, as the trial stated, was he a victim whose resources, hopes, and even life were snatched from him by a system carefully designed to exploit his weakness?

For more than 40 years, casino gambling was banned throughout the United States except in Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. However, the red and pay-to-play casino matching gambling law approved by Congress in 1988 quickly began to spread across the United States, and now there are more than 1, 000 casinos in 40 states. Every year, casino patrons pay more than $37 billion in fees - more than Americans spend attending sporting events ($17 billion, $8 billion), movie campaigns ($10 billion, $7 billion) and buying music ($6, $8 billion).

Currently, electric slot machines are considered the most famous appearance of gambling, and there are nearly a million of them across the country, offering all kinds of slots and video poker. Their widespread distribution accelerated the formation of addiction and brought huge profits to casino operators. Currently, the majority of casino profits come from a small percentage of customers, most of whom are considered drug addicts, with machines deliberately made to put them in a trance state. The industry is called "continuous gaming productivity". (In a 2010 report, the trade group South American Gaming Communications said, "The prevalence of pathological gambling... is no higher today than it was in 1976, when Nevada was a single state with legal gambling machines." It said, "The decades of excellence of slot machines and their associated technological innovations, adjusted for inflation, have not significantly increased the amount of money buyers spend gambling on slot machines during the average casino visit.")

"Manufacturers know that this machine gun is addictive, and they're probably doing everything they can to make it addictive. This is not negligence. This is deliberate."

The 7 2-yea r-old Novsinger has come here before. To be sparse, he is a defender of his own incident in Indiana and has already filed two lawsuits against casinos. In 2001, he filed a lawsuit against Aztian gaming, based in Evansville, on behalf of David Williams, who was 51 at the age of 51, at the age of 51. Williams began to act as a gambling after receiving a $ 20 coupon from Aztian Casino by mail. He was immersed in gambling and lost everything for that. In fact, Novsinger did not leave the Azter who participated in the "Urgain's Scheme" under the law on rampant and corruption in 1970-registered with an invariable conviction to return Williams to the casino. 。 However, the District Court in the southern office of Indiana has approved the promotion procedure that is advantageous to Aztar, and the appeal of the seventh city vocabulary USA is "not true" or "distortion". Even if they could, they ordered the court to end the case because they were considered not more than a corrupt dummy that would not be trusted by those who understand simple wisdom and understanding. 。 < SPAN> 7 2-yea r-old Nofu singer has come here before.

Four years later, Noffsinger filed suit on behalf of Jenny Kephart, then 52, at Caesars Riverboat Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana, alleging that the casino, considering Kephart a pathological gambler, knowingly engaged her in gambling in order to profit from her addiction. Kephart filed for bankruptcy after a failed gambling spree in Iowa and moved to Tennessee. But when she inherited nearly $1 million, Caesars began inviting her to play at its Indiana riverboat casino, where she lost this inheritance and much more. When the casino sued her for damages, Kephart countered. She disputed Caesars' cause of action on several grounds, alleging that "the casino forced her to consume excessive amounts of alcohol.... and that it injured her by her acts and omissions." Caesars categorically waived its claim for damages under Indiana law. However, Kephart eventually lost his personal counterclaim, which went all the way to the Indiana Supreme Court, which ruled in 2010 that it had erred in denying Caesars' request to dismiss the counterclaim. "The existence of a voluntary exclusion program suggests that the legislature intends to prohibit pathological casino visits," the arbitrator wrote, noting that Indiana may be encouraging people to ban themselves from visiting casinos in the state.

Noffsinger had been planning to retire even before he got a call from Stacey Stevens. But after listening to Scott Stevens' story in detail, which was much more serious than the previous two cases, he finally changed his mind. However, unlike his previous gambling cases, he decided to include a product liability claim in this case, arguing that the gaming machines were intentionally designed to lie to players and cause harm when used for their intended purpose.

Nofzinger borrowed from a set of rules in anti-tobacco strategies for responsibility for the quality of the product. Decades and countless lawsuits in the direction of the courts finally achieved something as the courts began to lift the lid on the damage caused to the public's health. Nofzinger wanted a settlement with the gambling companies. When Nofzinger presented his lawsuit against Stevens, John V. Kindt, a business doctor and legal statesman at the Illinois Institute in Urbana-Champaign, called the matter likely to become a "super big deal."

According to estimates by the "State Center for Serious Gambling," founded by supporters of the gambling industry, 1. 1% to 1. 6% of the American adult population, or about 3 million to 4 million Yankees, suffer from gambling disorders. This is more than the number of American women who suffer from breast cancer. Another 2-3 percent of adults, or 5-8 million Yankees, meet some aspects of the American Psychiatric Association's addiction criteria but haven't yet crossed the pathology or disorder stage, according to the center. Other estimates unrelated to the industry put the number of gambling addicts in the country even higher.

Such addicts are unlikely to slow down at all, regardless of the consequences. "When you're dealing with an addict who is actively pulling at their ties, that person loses any sense of judgment," says Valerie Lorenz, author of the book The Story of Compulsive Gambling: What It's All About. "They have no chance of controlling their behavior."

Gambling is a drug-free loan. But you're not paying attention to the fact that there's actually not even a tiny bit of external chemical influence in the brain, the neurological and physical response to the catalyst is the same as that of a drug addict or alcoholic. Some people are addicted to gambling. Like drug addicts, they develop tolerance, and when they don't have a chance to act, they have these withdrawal symptoms as panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and more frequent heartbeats.

About 3 to 4 million Yankees are pathological gamblers, and every fifth person from a gambling addiction attempts suicide.

Neuroscienters have found a unique feature in the brain of drug addicts. In particular, there is a characteristic of the dopamine operating system containing a reward path and the fron t-front cortex that executes the impulses. "Professor John Grant, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of the University of Chicago, says," Hey, stop! "

Gamblin g-addicted patients may have genetic primary, but no specific markers have been found yet. Environmental factors and characteristics (gambling in the past year, regular gambling friends, impulsivity, depression, depression) may also contribute to the onset of gambling addiction. For whatever reason, everyone agrees in that some of the population is more likely to become addicted. "Lesa Havib, a professor at the University of South Illinois, says," It's an automatic physiological reaction. "

The story of Scott Stevens is not abnormal. Gambling addiction often turns into a deep despair from guilt and shame. According to the National Gambling Council (National Council On Problem Gambling), one in five gamblin g-addicted patients committed suicide, which is the highest percentage of all the addicted patients. 。 Police officers who shot their heads at a Detroit casino, accountants who jumped from a hig h-rise building in London for online gambling poisoning, 2 4-yea r-old students who committed suicide in las Vegas, and of course Stevens itself There are no accurate numbers related to suicide related to the gambling problem, but there are many anecdotes.

Gambling addiction causes a major damage to the casino. One study states that 20 % of regular gamblers are a problem gambler or pathological gambler. Moreover, when they gamble, they spend more money than other gamblers, that is, loses. According to at least nine independent studies, the gambler accounts for 30 to 60 % of all gambling income. < SPAN> Neuroscientists have found a unique feature in the pharmaceutical poisoning brain.

Casinos literally know who their biggest spenders are. According to a 2001 Time magazine article, casino operators in the 1990s used data from mailing lists of credit card companies and direct sales advertisers. One of the latter was titled "Compulsive Gamblers" and listed 200 people with "an insatiable appetite for all forms of gambling." Casinos use this data and lists to target gambling addicts, and Caesars claims that Jenny Kephart did it.

Casinos these days have their own private, internal means of identifying their more sophisticated customers. According to Natasha Dow Schul, a doctoral student at the New York Institute who studied the casino industry for more than 15 years and published "Design Addiction: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas" in 2012, 70% of customers now use loyalty cards, which gives casinos the ability to record data such as how often they use electronic slot machines, how long they play, how many bets they make, how often they win and lose, and what time of day or night they play. Every time a guest presses the spin or deal button, which can happen 900 to 1200 times an hour, the casino records that data. Not every player has a chance to avoid the casino's watchful eye, including those who like to give up their loyalty cards. In some machines, small video cameras monitor the player's face and track their gaming behavior.

Several companies provide casinos with ATMs that allow guests to take pictures of their money, both for debit and advance functions, and in some cases without leaving the machine. (Some also sell customer information about their ATMs to casinos.) "The casino's goal is to get people to push their limits," says Les Bernal, state director of the advocacy group Stop Predatory Gambling. "Using a casino ATM is the exact same thing as painting yourself orange."

With all of these data, casinos have specially tracked the most reliable gamblers, mainly problem gamblers and complete drug addicts. Despite such a customer losing, no, because of the losing, casinos are free drinks, foods, limousine, casino gift shops, golf trips for spouses who do not gamble. In some cases, they will invite them by providing the firs t-class tickets and the fiv e-star hotels suite. He also hires a host who will be familiar with customers who spend a lot of money and use a special offer to revisit a lon g-term stay. Some hosts receive bonuses according to the amount of usage calculated from the data collected at the time of the past visit. Richard Dainard, a law professor at the North Eastern University and chairman of the Public Health Advocacy Research Institute, explained: The casino business plan is based on the gambler of addiction. "

The casino has developed the formula to calculate the "predictive lifetime value" of individual players. Gamblers are rated based on this value, and the losing players are called "whales." Such players are the most popular casinos, giving personal privileges and VIP treatment, and are the most selling.

For example, Caroline Richardson has become an "whale" of the American casino in Council Broughs, Iowa. In 2011 alone, she lost about $ 2 million mainly on a casino slot machine. The casino side is said to have entered the back of the caved "cage" (usually prohibited from entering) and allowed to raise money for gambling. She raised some slot machines so that they could spend more money in one game. Also, we made a new machine from using a new machine so that Richardson could play first. The management has appointed Richardson as an executive host, providing a ticket for free drinks, food, hotel accommodation, and entertainment events. < SPAN> With all of these data, the casino specially tracks the most reliable gambler, mainly gamblers and complete drug addicts.

"

The casino has developed the formula to calculate the "predictive lifetime value" of individual players. Gamblers are rated based on this value, and the losing players are called "whales." Such players are the most popular casinos, giving personal privileges and VIP treatment, and are the most selling.

For example, Caroline Richardson has become an "whale" of the American casino in Council Broughs, Iowa. In 2011 alone, she lost about $ 2 million mainly on a casino slot machine. The casino side is said to have entered the back of the caved "cage" (usually prohibited from entering) and allowed to raise money for gambling. She raised some slot machines so that they could spend more money in one game. Also, we made a new machine from using a new machine so that Richardson could play first. The management has appointed Richardson as an executive host, providing a ticket for free drinks, food, hotel accommodation, and entertainment events.

For example, a lawsuit in which Richardson, a tenant, a wholesaler of Colombo Candy & Amplifier tobacco, took the casino. Richardson, a company controller, has allocated $ 4 to 1 million for two years to support gambling poisoning. (In 2014, Richardson, 54, was sentenced to a prison sentence of 14 to 20 years for this crime). Theft ultimately went bankrupt to the company. In this lawsuit, the casino argued that Richardson with an annual income of $ 62. 000 had a fraudulent way to gamble. (Americano representative American Star has completely refused the explanation of this lawsuit).

The Nepo Braska District Court agreed that Colombo had proven the first declaration of unfair gain, and that the casino should be defended. However, this trial failed because Monte Brown, the president and CEO of Colombo, and his wife, Jeniz, had the opportunity to submit their bankruptcy declarations. did. "They found a person with a bond and legal ability to steal and used it," said Monte Brown. "The casino allocated our funds through our employees," said Jeniz. "People are trading with others. This is bad."

There are more than 1, 500 slot machines, the light flashes, the animation screen is blinked, and the sound of coins spreads on the floor. The automatic machine has names such as King Maidas, Rich Devil, Cash Illusion, Titanic, and Oz Wizards. There are a certain number of customers across the table to play with Claps, roulette, and various card tables, such as Tuesday and this cav e-like cave. However, most of the sloppy is behind the slot machine. Slots and video pokers are the current strengths of South American casinos. According to the US Gambling Association's 2010 report, it accounts for nearly 70 % of casinos. Three out of five people said, "My favorite occupation is an electric slot machine. The fame is not only a casino but also the manufacturer, and the world's worst slot machine manufacturer, International Game Technology, is almost All 900. 000 slot machines have been set up in the United States, and in the 2014 fiscal year, $ 2. 1 billion in the year (Italian lottery company GTECH that year, $ 6, 40, 40. The title was taken as a result of the transaction at a price of 100 million).

These are not your grandmother's "on e-arm bandit". Modern electronic game consoles (EGMs) are equipped with advanced computers controlled by complex algorithms. The ol d-fashioned thre e-reeled slot machine was composed of a physical reel that pressed the lever to rotate. For example, each reel had 22 "stops", 11 types of symbols and 11 blanks between them, and a total of 10648 combinations were possible. If the spin stops, if the same symbol is on all three reels, the player will win a jackpot and its size will vary depending on the symbol. The odds were simple and the calculation was not so difficult.

The big breakthrough in slot machine technology is the "Virtual Reel Mapping" invented in 1982. According to New York University, about 20-30 % of the current slot machines resemble an ol d-fashioned machine with physically rotating reels. However, where each reel stops is no longer determined by the power to pull the lever well. Instead, the result of the computer chips built into the machine can select the result using a "virtual reel" that can contain the number of different symbols. Physical reels only rotate when the momentum is exhausted. Instead, the moment the customer pulls the lever or presses the button, the chip "instructs" the stop position. As a result, game developers can reduce the probability of drawing a jackpot from 1/10 to 1 /137 million. It can be reduced from 1/648 to 1 /1037 million. Furthermore, it is almost impossible for a slot player to know the actual winning probability, regardless of the size of the jackpot. < SPAN> These are not your grandmother's "on e-arm bandit".

The virtual reflection of the drum was still allowed to be set to misleading - "Close Miss". This is when the jackpot-board is noticed just above or just below the pay line. The idea is to make the player feel like he has practically won, but in reality, he has not won at all, more than if the sign had not been seen on the drum at all. Some slot machines are deliberately programmed to provide such near-win results more frequently than if they were operating on the principle of chance, and the psychological effect is quite strong, and has the ability to make the player think, "I, for example, was close." It will continue for some time. ) Car for a while. "Subconscious Motivation").

"The casino business plan is not run on random players. The casino business plan is run on addicted players.

In fact, studies have found that the number of approaching missiles really increases the time of the game. In fact, in 1953, B. F. Skinner, the godfather of high-level behavior, found that "the closer one is to hitting the jackpot, the more likely a person is to act like a machine gun." This effect is even harder to spot for people with gambling addictions, whose brains are more likely to react to a near miss as a win than a loss," says Reza Khabib, PhD, a psychologist at the Southern Illinois Institute.

Another personality that realizes the virtual reflection of the drums is the uneven cracking of winning symbols between the virtual drums, called "hungry drums." For example, the number 7 has the ability to fall four times on the first virtual drum, five times on the second virtual drum, but only once on the third virtual drum. Thus, the probability of a 7 falling on the first two drums is much higher than on the last drum, but we do not look at the physiological drums and ask for this. Craps players are actually waiting for bones 1 through 6, blackjack players are waiting for the dealer to use a regular deck of 52 cards, and slot machine players are waiting for a 1 to come up with equal probability. Roger Holby is a psychoanalyst who suffers from gambling addiction and a specialist in electric slot machines. "The unbalanced drum system allows the player to see the player screen, the gorgeous characters,

Surprisingly, in the patent application for the virtual reflection of the drums, it is about the technology that made all these deceptive effects possible, it is strongly specified: "It is important," it was said, that the application makes the machine, which is evaluated as more likely to win than it actually is, within the framework of legal regulations necessary to operate in gambling. These states, such as Australia and New Zealand, did not allow the virtual reflection of the drums, on the grounds that the lie would harm the player.

In the United States, Visavi, the federal government issued a patent for the virtual reflection of the drums in 1984. IGT bought the rights in 1989 and then licensed it to other companies. "Imagine actually sitting at the board table, thinking about what it would actually be true and coming to this conclusion," Institute (Ontario). "I see, this is essentially wrong."

The Nevada Gambling Committee approved a slot machine equipped with a virtual reel in 1983. Interestingly, at a hearing on this issue, Lay Pike, a lawyer of IGT, will buy hundreds of thousands of slot machines, buying a patent right to later map virtual reels. Although it is the same company as the company, the inflation of such a "nea r-miss rate" was called "false advertisement". "It's a false advertisement, and" such a machine has deception, "he added. However, if the board also approved the display of the virtual reel, he said, "Of course we want to do it." I think it is an advantage. "

Of course, classic slot machines with reels are only a few of the electronic slot machines that can be used in most casinos. The technology is very developed, many slot machines have no physical reel at all, and instead they are shown on the video screen on a rotating symbol. These machines can be played on "mult i-line", an innovative technology spread in the 1990s. Instead of betting on a simple payline, players can bet on multiple paylines. Some machines have as many as 200 paylines. This increases the chance to win, but the results can be often deceived. For example, if you bet $ 1 on each of the five different lines and get $ 3 payouts on one line, the machine treats you as a winner, flashes the light, the festive video flows, and the virtual coin rings. 。 Of course, it is actually a loss of $ 2.

"Kevin Harigan says," The brain somehow records victory. No matter what you think, these things, such as light, sound, and graphics, physically affect you. 1 hour. Within, you can get a positive victory (we also call it a defeat).

The defeat that seemed to win is also called "smooth development" in the industry, and the machine slowly empties the player's han d-held funds.

The video slot is related to a terminal to play video poker that IGT began in 1979.

The video poker still has a unique loser version that seems to be a prize.

It creates an atmosphere similar to a mult i-line slot, and players generally have all the opportunities to "play" the share of each bet in a small bank, even if they lose money every day.

Regardless of the machine slot, the ultimate job of the video poker casino is to maximize the time in the device of the player. This is very important for the casino.

A key element of modern slot machines is speed. Each arm or back takes just three or four seconds to complete. Walking through a casino, it is common to see people standing frozen in front of their machines, fingers hovering over the buttons, twitching like rats in a cage. The possibility of instant extra cash on many machines "reduces the time that elapses between the moment the urge to continue playing strikes and the moment the player continues playing, minimizing the possibility of deliberation or self-stopping that may occur in between," writes Schüll in Addiction by Design. Gamblers enter a "state of suspended animation" known as the "Zone."

For many gambling addicts, the Zone itself becomes more desirable than winning. Schüll describes it as "a state of constant, infinite possibility that has come to eclipse the ultimate reward of winning." In the Zone, players can escape from everyday problems, past traumas, and even the debt that accumulates with every spin. Players play for 14, 15, 16 hours or more. They are so engrossed in their machines that they leave their young children in their cars, urinate in secret, and go without food for hours.

Casinos and game developers use all sorts of tricks to keep visitors glued to their machines and playing quickly. Chairs are ergonomically designed to allow players to sit comfortably for long periods of time. Winnings can be converted into credits or printed onto vouchers that can be cashed later. Waitresses come to take drink orders, so players don't have to get up.

The all-consuming nature of electronic slot machines hastened addiction, leading to nicknames like "electronic morphine" and "the crack cocaine of gambling." Schüll found in a 2002 study that "regular video game players became addicted three to four times faster than other gamblers (after one year and three and a half years), compared to other problems with gambling."

Supporters of state politicians have linked gaming machines to cigarettes. In fact, both are products that are deliberately designed to be addictive, and it is well known that users become addicted. "The EGM and tobacco industries are trying to get users to consume their products in a way that will directly and without their intervention set off a known chain of harm," says James Downey, a PhD in economics at the Victoria Institute in Melbourne.

Whatever "pleasure" smoking and EGMs may bring, the fact remains that both products can kill. Almost every smoker smokes a potentially lethal dose. EGM products are used literally for their intended purpose, users lose control over the duration, and the industry is freeing up ample funds for profit."

As Jeffrey Wiegand, a former director of tobacco manufacturer Brown & Williamson, said in the mid-1990s, tobacco companies have been held responsible for the health problems caused by their products.

Terry Noffsinger's legal team, finding out what was going on, hired Sharon Y. Eubanks, an attorney with the West Virginia law firm of Bordus & amp; Bordus. Eubanks was the lead attorney for the Department of Justice in the successful federal lawsuit against the tobacco industry from 2000 to 2005. She, along with Noffsinger, acted on behalf of Stacey Stevens after convincing her that the lies used by the gambling industry were similar to the tobacco industry's deceptions. "The tobacco industry and the gambling industry are similar in that they use high-tech products to solicit consumers.

The casino is carefully observing the buyer's "pain point". The data that tracks the player's card in real time warns such a pain point.

According to experts, casinos need to understand that lending credit to losing customers emphasizes the possibility of the problem gambler in a definition. One of the 10 research standards of the "pathological gambler" (and "problem gambler") set by the US Psychiatric Medical Association (and probably three). Kindt of Illinois Research Institute has reported in the Mercer Law Review magazine. "Theoretically, gambling companies (especially to players) lending (especially more than $ 200) understand that they are substantially or constructively regarded as a problem.

A bar that offers drunken customers and injured by the customer, such as binging people in their own car, is likely to be charged under the Drum Sales Act. Similarly, casinos are likely to be responsible for the financial results of players who provide a certain limit. In 1994, a man of a man who committed suicide after doing a very difficult job at a casino in Mississippi took a trial against a casino in accordance with the extract of the drum shop law. As her lawyer told Chicago Tribune, "giving Eric Kimbrow was the same as giving him alcohol." However, her claim for $ 50 was meaningless due to the crush of the casino. At present, there is no South American court that gave opinions on the same act of the casino, and no state council has passed the same law applied to the casino.

According to the gambling industry supporters, there is no obligation to adopt similar laws. "The casino has no responsibility." The definition of drunk has a stereotype that has been established. If you play a very large number, it is comparable to measure how much it is. There is nothing to do.

"I was obliged to protect Scott Stevens from myself, given the damage that Mountainer Casino knew about her husband and the damage that could cause gambling addiction. "He claims.
