"I have concluded that the casino business has much in common with the tobacco business.

Both profit by exploiting people's inability to limit consumption of the product.
Like tobacco companies, casinos cynically make their biggest profits off
the poor souls who cannot stop once they start.
Casinos are fundamentally predatory.

Indian casinos employ a diabolically effective business model.
They fix the odds at the slot machines
so that on average for every dollar a customer bets,
he or she gets back about 85 cents.
It is, of course, highly profitable to take in $1 bills
and give people 85 cents back day-in, day-out.
(The phrase that comes to mind is "Heads I win; tails you lose.")"
