Do you think casinos are a net positive or negative for society?

Casinos are a mixed bag in my view. On the one hand, they provide entertainment, jobs, and tourism revenue for communities. But there is also an downside.

Casinos prey on those with gambling addictions and often drain their finances. I've seen too many people ruin their lives and families chasing a huge jackpot win that never comes. The odds always favor the house in the long run.

Some casinos also breed crime, like money laundering, fraud, and Mob influence. A few shady characters I've known over the years saw casinos as an easy mark.

Personally, I gamble recreationally for fun, but I set strict limits. I go in with money I can afford to lose, and I never walk out with less in my pocket. If I win, great, but I never expect to.
What do you think of casinos and their impact? There are good arguments on both sides of this debate, in my view.

Yes just like any other thing Casinos had its two sides both good and bad. it has the positive side where it gives entertainment, can be a job for other and played to make money but the bad sides is that it can drain ones finances if one isn't careful.
