Pokers dark side - All the graveyards in poker playing towns

Fun game, dark side

When Stofko researched gambling problems last year while exploring the possibility for grants to a potential gambling addiction program in the county, he said he learned gambling has three phases as it grows into a mental disease.

First is the winning phase, when the gambling isn’t a problem and a person is excited by initial success. Then comes the losing phase when gamblers begin lying to family and friends and bet money they don’t have, said Stofko.

Finally, Stofko said, comes the desperation phase when gambling leads to illegal acts, hopelessness and even suicide.

“Go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City and you always find a lot of graveyards outside of town,” said Stofko

And homelessness, and alcoholism, and drug addiction, and domestic violence…

Happy happy joy joy.

Go to any major city and you’re going to see a lot of cemetaries. Large populations have large numbers of people shuffling off this mortal coil.

So, gambling-addicted people get buried outside the city, and everyone else gets buried in the city?

Apparently. Wonder what would happen if you disturbed the graves of chronic gamblers. What kind of zombies would they be?
