Hollywood Casino in Columbus, Ohio

"Was happy to see in the Columbus Dispatch that the gambling profits had been lower than hoped for at the Hollywood Casino. Apparently, Columbus' reputation as a fat city is helping their restaurants turn a profit which balances the gambling losses.

Gambling destroys a lot of lives, and keeps money from creating good. It is a tax on the poor and low income, who disproportionately get sucked in (the rich have the stock market for gambling). Churches, liberal and conservative, mainline and fundamentalist, fought this for years. They are the ones who get to pick up the pieces. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2012/10/25/columbus-prostitution-arrests-made.html"
