Ever wonder who pays the salaries of the 1,400,000 people employed by the US gambling industry?
That is an interesting question. Isn’t it? Or who pays for the amazing luxury buildings the house the 1,000,000 slot machines in the United States alone? Like Twin River or Foxwoods? It takes over $100,000,000,000 in profits each year to pay for all of the casinos in the US and give the owners a profit. Well, the answer is primarily the problem gambler – the heavy user consumer. I am writing this because a hypnosis client mentioned to me that when her husband asked her whether she had asked herself “who pays for the casino and the people who run it?” and pointed out it was his and her money. This caught her attention and stated her journey on a personal change. Maybe it will do the same for someone reading this. To my mind, there is nothing wrong with a little gambling fun now and then – but if you think you are going to win – well, just look around you next time you are in a casino and realize you are paying for entertainment – the big money winners are (and will always be) the ones who run the place – not you or me stuffing our money into the one armed bandits. Just a thought for the day
And there is recovery! Ask me how.
