Have no experience of Casino gambling, but, yes, will probably encourage a little more of the above, but I feel a Super Casino will be more of an entertainment venue, than the profound statement above.
Casinos are already around anyway .. and you are this type of gambler or not.
Did watch quite a lot of the Americans on my recent American owned cruise and some of them were quite obsessed, but only appeared to be an extension of the one armed bandit... mainly women, might I add.
Anybody any thoughts on this or personal experiences ?

pesonally have nothing against a super casino, have used casinos on a very small scale i.e. whilst waiting for paris to get ready.
whilst they may encourage some of that list above i think the government encourage them more than any casino - no deterrant- no real employment- etc and people being people some will always look for the EASY way out.
