It doesn't really matter "how much", it is stimulation to endorphins of the brain (pleasure centers).

Once the stimulation is over, the person wants another "hit" so to speak.

So, the person continues to gamble and gamble and gamble waiting for he next "hit". The hit finally comes and the cycle repeats itself.

There are so many of these Indian casinos popping up all over the place that it maddens me as they have become magnets for the following where I live:

#1: Prostitution
#2: Drug rings
#3: Crime
#4: More and more addiction to gambling being reinforced by your local city council.

They say they are proud members of the community and that they contribute to the well-being of others. I cry B.S. on that one!

I'd really be happy if all of these dumpy casinos went belly up. Most are not even run by tribal members, they have some non-Indian person there handling their "business" which is corrupt as hell!
