I know so many tech bros that go to atlantic city and burn ridiculous amounts of money every couple months.
Also casinos are pretty defunct now. Sports betting is all the craze. If I wanted to spin some slots I could just go to the gas station where a machine is set up.
Every time I go somewhere with legal gambling it blows my mind how many people gamble in the weirdest places. When I was in Illinois people were gambling at the local breakfast spot, like wtf? Here there’s only one city you can do it in and it’s hours away from most of civilization, so if people even bother going it’s typically once or twice a year at most.
The irony is that gaming revenues are strong, but in the local casinos. It’s the strip that’s suffering. People have money to go to a casino, but not for overpriced, mediocre tourism.
Not to mention, NOBODY HAS MONEY TO BURN AT A CASINO

Plus all the compulsive gamblers can do it anytime anywhere on their phones
Way more sanitary and private to boot.
