Reply to comment by autotelica in Will restricting convenience stores make Richmond safer? Policing expert says no. by ety3rd
The last time I went to a casino was one of the Tunica ones on a Sunday afternoon with my wife when we were bored. We figured we'd go pop $20 in quarters into the slot machines and get a drink or two or maybe some dinner. I don't think we made it through the $20 before we realized how many of the people around us looked like they were trying to salvage something out of what they'd lost over the weekend, and we were so depressed by it, we just left and went to a fast food place before driving home.

That's basically always Tunica any time of any day

I don't disagree, but the reason we went that one time was because I did have a fun time there with some old classmates on a Friday night, but I wasn't the high roller, either.

My husband and I got out $200 to play slots with at the MGM casino. We dressed up kinda fancy and wanted to feel like ballers.
It was gone in about ten minutes. Stupidest $200 we'd ever spent. Also depressing to see the people staring into the machines like they were looking into the face of God.

Congrats on writing the most soul crushing thing I've seen all week
