I'm genuinely curious at to what everyone thinks about casinos in Ohio?

Logical extension of the lottery, valuable funding tool, civil right?
Preys on the desperate, increases financial hardships, causes blight?

Casinos

I have no problems with casinos and other gambling because I think their ads about money leaving Ohio at 65 mph is true, my problem is that one or a very small group of investers will make more profit than the state and as far as i am concerned that is not how it should be run.
