I bet there will be a few who say that it is out of control. It is only when you have your bookie on speed dial and as one of your favourite numbers that you might have a problem,. ;)

I am a member of two casinos and have never placed a bet in either. I use it as an extra restaurant. I took my family for a birthday party last year. Very nice.

You can't move for bloody casino web site adverts on Facebook and the TV. It's no wonder there's a problem.
