A senior’s view on casino problem

I’ve finally had it with all you “guys” screaming about the drop in profits at the casinos you have bought into because Illinois says no one can smoke in there.

The largest reason there are so few people going is when they changed their minimum bets on many game to $15.

I am a 76 year old female and I and many of my friends used to go play once a week. Some of our gang played slots and many played table games. No one objects to the elderly playing Bingo every week ... this is the same thing. We don’t play with money we don’t have, we just want to enjoy the games.

Why not try the old minimum table bets at $5 and $10 in the early part of the day?

Just see how the numbers jump. But then I guess they would have to put more people to work to handle the crowd. Heaven forbid.
