Re: Gambling Demographics
Dear Chief of Police Lou Dekmar and Captain Pheil,
The premier gambling casinos in the world still call Las Vegas, Nevada home. Prior to the millennials becoming interested in video game gambling, most gambling was done by the elderly probably white female population. Gambling and its concomitant problems: alcohol and drug abuse and prostitution are on the rebound in our society. One of the driving forces is multiplayer video game gambling. People get hooked on video game gambling since there is skill involved in playing video games. Slot machines also known as one-arm bandits are purely stochastic in nature. Our society can’t afford to become a gambling refuge for the planet. We need to teach the young of the perils of gambling where skill is involved. In other words, don’t let infants and young children get hooked early on video games provided by cellphones (smartphones and Internet connected tablet computers). The Internet of Everything (IoE) is going to kill all the social skills that we need to teach the young.
Sincerely,
James Pate Williams, Jr., BA, BS, MSwE, PhD
