This is the topic to discuss the morality of opening up a poker room. Not necessarily the legality or the county laws state laws whatever that might be ….simply about the morality of it and maybe if it should be done on a federal level and allowed to occur all throughout the country with oversight and license.
Poker is a game of skill. It is not at all the same thing compared to going to a casino and “throwing money away” at a slot machine or a roulette table. Capitalism is what makes America. People risk everything to open up a restaurant or to invest in stock markets. In fact many many more people lose everything trying to start a business, open a restaurant or invest compared to people who lose all their money playing poker. A fraction of gamblers are so called problem gamblers. Like it is with people who open up a restaurant or a business it is the responsibility of the individual to assume bankroll management of their own wrt playing poker. And with capitalism there are always going to be people who do not have success at least right away.. that is simply the nature of America and capitalism. There’s no way around it. According to studies most Folks who walk through a casino for example end up spending about $20 and leaving only a fraction of people that walk-through casinos end up becoming problem gamblers. And for this thread, the game of poker is not for example like a physical drug or alcohol. People cannot die from playing a game of poker…. they can die from injecting a drug or even eating too much McDonald’s hamburgers overtime… studies show that playing poker increases somebody’s ability to think and actually increases their lifespan.
Opening up a standalone poker room This is in someways different from opening up a casino. There are a few standalone poker rooms in the country meaning an establishment that offers only the game of poker as opposed to also offering slot machines, table games, like blackjack and roulette, horse racing and or sports betting.
Looking at the types of people who oppose opening up a poker room, it would seem like many of them have the same values I do like opposing abortion, supporting Christianity, going to church, opposing legalization of drugs. Many of those folks opposed to the Poker room opening might be and probably are Trump supporters.
There appears to be a lack of information from those folks who oppose the Poker rooms. These are good people who oppose opening poker rooms but they are lacking some information that might change their minds. The USA was built by risktakers great men of history like George Washington or Andrew Jackson who took a risk to create this country or to expand it. And the very country that we live in is thanks to these men and women who built America. It doesn’t matter what color we are what ethnicity or what religion ….we are we all owe our gratitude to these types of men and women who either founded the country or expanded it to allow all of us in every 50 states that we live in to have a chance to prosper. So therefore based on that and the reasons provided in the second paragraph …Poker rooms should be allowed to open up anywhere in the country.
