Man is not a born gambler but when he experiences playing the slot
machines he acquires a fascination for the element chance. With all
the advertising we're to believe that it's ok for the lottery to
rob us blind because so much of the money is going to good causes
like education. Gambling is neither an immoral nor a noble exercise
it is motivated by both a desire to win big and foolishness.
"During my career as a gambler I began to notice that people would
win and two hours later lose it all." There are three kinds of
machines - good, bad, and indifferent. The good will give you some
money back, the bad will hardly pay, the indifferent are the ones
that malfunctioned and you are out of luck, no money. Studies
generally consider a person a problem gambler if they report at
least five problems associated with gambling. Those problems range
from lying about gambling and having to steal, having to borrow
money, losing jobs, dumping your kid at the entrance to a casino so
you can play the slots, and being unable to cut down or stop
gambling. A recent report from the state task force of compulsive
gambling estimates New Mexico has anywhere from 90,000 to 108,000
problem gamblers, compulsive gamblers that is. I do go to the
casino at times and without a doubt it is questionable whether many
of the gamblers I see playing the slots should be there at all.
Compulsive gambling is like any other addiction (drinking or
smoking). It is arrested only by total abstinence and cannot be
cured. Compulsive gamblers live in a fantasy world that tells them
the big wish is around the corner and they will be set for life,
all debts will be paid, and life will be good again. As we see
today, when they don't win there are disastrous effects and
heartbreak that are caused by compulsive gambling every day.
