THIS AN EXAMPLE OF WHO BENEFITS FROM THE MONEY LOST IN VLTS AND SLOT MACHINES. 

Remember, without the 'addicted players', these totals would be about 74% LESS, which means this business would not be sustainable and most if not all of the people running it would lose their paycheck, including the counselors of their gambling treatment programs and their research teams. It also means that the citizens, the bar and casino owners, and most charity groups would have to find other ways to make money, hopefully one that doesn't destroy as many lives and families.
