Let’s hit the Casino!
Let’s hit the Casino! It’s the rally cry screamed by thousands everyday as they plow into the many Casinos that now dot this land of ours. Hope and expectations are high and many have new surefire systems they can”t wait to try. Some people just hope for a lucky day. Others just know, that now, they know how to beat the system. With smiling faces and expectant eyes they shuffle in. Not at all unlike the sheep and cows that shuffle into slaughterhouses every day, with no idea the fate that awaits them. Entering the huge palaces our happy players are transported to another world. A fantasy world, where anything seems possible and fortune could be waiting at the next table or machine. They hear laughter; they hear screams and shrieks along with clanking coins and bells ringing. The atmosphere is electric as their pulses begin to speed up in anticipation. As they sit to play attractive hostesses offer them drinks, usually free of charge. Yes, they have entered another world. If statistics hold true most of our happy gamblers will actually be winning money at some point in their trip. This is the case for the online casinos and the brick-and-mortar ones- Lady Luck does occasionally smile down on us. But as they keep playing they will soon learn Lady Luck is no real Lady. By the time they leave fully 95% will have lost money. Some will lose much more than they ever planned on. This pattern is repeated time and time again, every day, in Casinos around the world.
