Documentary On Compulsive Gambling

Uploader: PhillyCasinos
Video Description: Now that we known casinos will be here in Philly, it's time to address how our 'BILLION DOLLAR CASINO OPERATORS' have been given carte-blanche to 'FLEECE' and 'BREED' compulsive casino gamblers who will eventually become criminals. For over four years I've been addressing and proving that there is a major flaw in our gaming law and it's not where our casinos will be built and who owns them, its how there are no safeguards or provisions in place that will protect today's casino gamblers and future casino gamblers from becoming casino gambling degenerates. In other words, our casinos just like those in other states are operating with no consumer protection, they're operating like amusement parks with no safety belts or cages on the rides. And to make it look like our gaming operators and state officials are addressing this most certain outcome they're going to have things like a 1-800 GAMBLER get help number, and a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week hotline that provides crisis counseling. There's also self-exclusion
for those who got so 'HIGH' on casino gambling that they destroyed themselves and in most cases their innocent families. Do you know of any other entertainment venue or industry in our country that has such an option? All of these good intentions and provisions address the obsessive gambling problem after one becomes a casino gambling junkie.
If we do nothing to stop the 'BREEDING' then be prepared to face the same ill-effect that we have been addressing since the sixties when the youth of America started entertaining themselves with drugs, it's called getting 'HIGH.' Today they're two bills, one in our House of Representatives (HB 783) and one in our Senate (SB 423) that will make the casino operators who are already tracking their patrons' money and time spent gambling with COMP-CARDS to send monthly statements. This would enable gamblers and their family members to spot a loved one's gambling problem before it gets out of hand.
You can help get this legislation passed by contacting your state legislators and telling them you support (HB 783) and (SB 423)
To learn more about these Bills go on line and look up Bill Kearney on casino gambling.

I, too, am an "ex-casino gambling degenerate." This video makes an excellent point that government is as addicted to gambling as the pathological gambler is. I wonder where it will all end--so many lives have been & will be destroyed.
Suicide often seems the only way out. I never tried it but figured that would be the only way I would stop before I got help & quit gambling.

Excellent compilation of videos to convey your message! In vegas there was literature in hotel saying how the house edge means the longer you play the more you will lose. This was casino sponsored (mgm grand). God Bless.

Thank the gentleman for his honesty, where he states that whatever he could steal or rob, then how his spouse trusted him. Please IF you have a spouse that gamble attend one Gambling Anonymous meeting yourself and see first hand the TRUTH.

Wow the casinos love you.. but Gambling addiction isnt about the money its about the action... in the action a gambler is like an alcoholic in his cups... out of action and in GA the gambler will have a much happier life rather... more happier than if he/she wins the big hit... because.. .then what after the win??

Bill, Great ... ( 5 days ago by Duke7771)

Bill, Great documentary, and I agree with you that people just don't know what's really going on. And you're helping to raise awareness, and that's what's needed to start with.
Two different people mentioned your book, "COMPED", to me at our Northeast HS reunion last night. I'd heard about it a long time ago, long before it was published.
Hope all is well with you. I had no idea what you've been thru. Oh, I know you're wondering who this is...it's Barry, your old next-door neighbor!
