WHAT SHOULD A CASINO OFFER

I go to casinos to have fun the alternative day/night out. I do not want to spend time in an establishment that has been created to encourage problem and compulsive gambling. A place created for people with gambling addictions and gambling compulsion. When I go to a casino I want to have fun and sit in a nice comfortable safe environment. I want to have fun when I play in a casino be it live games or slot machines. Spend a little money maybe if I am lucky win a little money, watch a show, grab a bite to eat, listen to good music or just interact with other people in a nice relaxed atmosphere.

When I was in Dublin I went into Fitzwilliams Casino, WOW!!!!! what an eye opener this is serious gambling for a country in which casinos are illegal this is serious. It was the sweat shop version of a casino. No FUN!! No sound except for the dealers calling numbers or figures, no enjoyment on the faces of the people just very serious gambling business. How awful a casino from hell!!! Needless to say I did not spend any of my hard earned money here I would rather fold the notes into little paper ships and watch it floating down the river Liffey at least I will enjoy the experience. Then I went into a slots arcade in Dublin and there the attendants all went to that famed academy " Specialist School of Customer Haters " that was great fun too and thanks to them my money also remained very safe in my pocket.

I prefer going to a casino like the casinos in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, South Africa, Greece, Macau and a few more places, at least I know the slot machines in those places are subjected to some form of regulation and standards and control and that the casinos are not sleaze holes where gambling is a pure addiction and compulsion and where goodness knows what other horrors go on.
