Reply #87: Visit a casino sometime. Many seniors. I think they go and budget

themselves - i.e. $20.00 lose and not more. Many play bingo for that amount. It is seen as something to do other than set at alone in your apartment. You set there playing the games and talking to those around you. You can set there a whole evening and never lose more than the $20 you paid to get in. But if they have to choose between vitals and gambling they do not. I have not been to the casino to gamble for a couple of years now but that is why I went.

Now if I go it is to the buffet with the family. But like the casinos the restaurant are also going to miss the elderly if there are no social security checks.


I wonder how the casinos did in the Great Depression?
