I see people who come to the casino everyday.  Some do not gamble at all. The drink free soda and coffee all day. Sometimes they spend the night sleeping in a chair in the bus depot. I guess it keeps them from freezing to death.  But all casino's have their regulars!

Nobody goes to Vegas to win, they go to have fun. Gambling cost money that isn't readily had....

Sometimes, those with "very little money" cannot afford such things as a trip, a new car, nice clothes, a vacation home, equipment required for a sport, a large screen tv, etc. that some take for granted.  So what do they do? They can get some enjoyment from a casino because while it does cost money, it costs no where near what those other things cost. That is their "regular mini vacation" as they know that they can never save enough for what they would really like to do, even if they did stay away from casinos.

Depends on how much they lose . If they gamble like they have money then no . If they go for a few drinks and the perks and get more than they lose why not ? If they pay penny slots and have social time its just part of their  lives and as long as this causes no injury to you financial or otherwise you have nothing to say . Live and let live .

Being an adult, as long as it's not affecting anyone else in the family it's really nobodies business what they do with the money.

I personally am not a gambler, I have always said if you can afford to go and throw the money off a pier, then go right ahead, however we don't have the right to dictate to others, whether we approve or not

If someone with "very little money" goes gambling then he can only lose very little. Somebody who smokes regularly is in a far worse state so what can one say. They are both losers.

I don't believe they should be gambling at all.

most people don't know that gambling (drugs, alcohol,tobacco,sex,etc.) are ADDICTIONS. look up addiction in your dictionary. they can't stop themselves from their addiction. in a perfect world, I strongly believe that people shouldn't gamble. research by psychologists has shown that everyone has some sort of addiction, though it may not be harmful. watching tv or being on the computer 8 hours a day, every day is an addiction, certainly much less harmful than any of the above.

She or he must have money coming in from somewhere, unless they took out a 2nd mortgage on the house. They won't have any money left for very long. Gambling is ok if you take an amount with you that you can afford to lose . And if you don't go very often. Then, it's not gambling. It's entertainment. I only go when the senior group is going. And then, the casino give us  $ 20. or $ 30 . to play with  :-)
