Atlantic City shut down

I'm sure you've heard that our next neighbor New Jersey is having budget problems or something so bad that the casinos were closed down on Wednesday and continues today. That's a big loss in revenue. I'm not really that sad because a family member can't go down there. The man's been going down there weekly at least 2 times a week for about 8 yrs! That's too much. He says it gives him something to do, but I think it's an addiction. Once he referred to playing the slots as 'his job'. Is he kidding? He won $2,500 or so once. I think that's the most, so far. He's also slipped on the escalator the day before Sean's graduation and did get hurt. I go down once in a blue moon. I once won about $240 on a couple of pulls of the slot and then quit. I have no desire to throw money away that I could use for plants or eating out by using the 'computerized' slot machines. And someone who would rather go gamble then see his relatives has a problem.
