Pathetic, this is a betrayal of the basic idea of what gaming is, gambling must always pretend it is a form of gaming and actual video games are undermined by allowing forms of gambling to seep in that pretend to be gaming when they are cynical casinos designed only to take whereas true games are designed with love and thus desire to give.

This is a public health threat in no uncertain terms.
