How Does the Casino Industry Work?

Short Answer: Casinos are designed to be businesses for profit. They are not there to lose money. They take games of random chance (like roulette, craps, blackjack, and slots) and by knowing the odds and adjusting the payback they are able to create a 'House Edge' that ensures they will make money over time. In effect, this means they are purposefully setting the customers / players up to lose money. They advertise themselves as entertainment and often show people have great fun ... but it does not meet such expectations because losing money simply is not fun.

What Is a Casino?

Earlier, it was stated that gambling is not a sin in and of itself, but that casinos are evil. It is time to detail out how casinos are the dark side of gambling.

At the simplest definition, a casino is a business that makes money by causing people to lose bets. Let me emphasize that word 'cause'. When you enter a casino, you are stuck playing by terrible rules. Everything there is designed to make you lose more than you win and to spend more money.

Just as we can see with our listing of heroes and villains, it becomes obvious that casinos are a villain. They are secretive, work shrouded in darkness, do not want to reveal what they do, keep the player in darkness and ignorance. All because if what they did was well understood, no one would want to come and play.

The casino offers gain and wealth … but it does not deliver. Instead, the statistics show that it runs a community down, brings divorce, poverty, and it has more suicides than all of the other suicides by lusts of the flesh put together [need stats ???].

Dangerous Place

The casino is a dangerous place on many levels. Where there is sin and lusts of the flesh, there will be demons lurking. Conversely, where there are demons lurking, there will be sin and lusts of the flesh. The casino is a place where this cycle goes on and on. If one is to attempt going into the enemy's realm and doing a good work / fighting the enemy, one must be fully prepared with all defenses up. Do not underestimate the enemy's desire to get you into a trap.
