There's a casino not that far from me at the yonkers raceway. It's called Empire and i've been there once about 3am in the morning with a friend. We didn't go to gamble, we went there to get something to eat. As we walked thru and looked around, all you saw were sad faces and i was like
. Some people looked like they were scared to go home because they were just sittin at the machine with their backs to it and their arms crossed, with this look of desperation on their face as if they were searching for the right lie to tell when they got home. One lady was actually crying and clutching her pocketbook.
Casino's aren't racist, they are equal opportunity opportunist's. They lend the gambler some hope and give him or her the opportunity to take a chance on winning, knowing that the odds are stacked against the gambler.
I mean just by me seeing like 10 ATM machines as soon as we walked in the front door told me all i needed to know. That once they get you in there, they don't want you to leave. That is until you have no more money to give to them.
Btw, i actually think the noises all the machines make to fool people into thinking that people are winning all around the casino are actually hypnotic.
The caption under this picture reads: "Loosing all my money at Empire, but i still had fun"...
Now i don't know about ya'll but i ain't never had fun at loosing money. The sounds of the machines had her hypnotized into thinking she was having fun giving her money away....lol
