Some have no problem with risk. Others are risk averse. I believe we have a cross-section here.

I'd hate to see the parties some of you guys would throw.

I've cashed checks from my Florida credit union account at casinos here, no problem.

I totally agree that some have no problem with risk and some don't. However, when you have to cash your payroll check before you go or as soon as you get there then imo you don't have enough money to be taking risk. My reasoning is that these are the type of people that WE are paying their health insurance etc. What happens if he gets hit by a car when he gets back? Who pays the hospital bill? US! There is a difference between risk and personal responsibility. Just pisses me off when people that can't afford to gamble do.

I think there should be a rule. If you are on ANY sort of government aid whether it be healthcare or your electric bill or if you don't carry health insurance or car insurance etc. then you shouldn't be allowed in a casino. Swipe your drivers license at the door. Have Medicaid.......denied!!!

I just see it so many times. Someone ends up paying for these people.

I suppose you didn't catch the subtlety of my humor. So, in that case, I'll try to make it more clear. You are completely and utterly wrong.

First, you do not know the circumstances of his situation. He may be in college, has a part-time job, or a full-time job, or more likely, it's none of our business.

Nice of you to decide what is right and wrong. We need more people like you in this country to look out for us. Gosh, I suppose we shouldn't be playing poker on the Internet because we might click a mouse and lose a house.

I hear the sound of jackboots marching. After they come for me, I'm sure they'll find something they don't like about you.

I wanted to ask if you actually thought about this before you wrote it, but, I know you did. People who think like this really scare me. It's not so much the totalitarian ideals, but that you really believe it.

I suggested he could get a personal check cashed. I suppose if he doesn't have a checking account, he should also be kept out of the casino. Would there be any more rules you'd like to make? Perhaps, if he doesn't have health insurance, he can't get a driver's license, and that would preclude him from visiting a casino?

Sheesh, dude. Can you see where your thinking would ultimately lead?
