Many well-intentioned media professionals write about casinos yet do not visit them frequently nor do they lose their own money inside casinos. They have little understanding of the casino business model, their “products” and “services” and their highly predatory marketing practices.
Paul Davies, Deputy Editorial Page Editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, is not one of them. He published one of the best columns we have read about the truth behind the predatory gambling business. We urge you to read it here. We hope other talented journalists will follow the same path.
