True that, slot machines can behave like a black hole, trapping people in a spin cycle of wins and losses, each defeat stirring up a hunger to recoup more. But wait, is it right to pin all the blame on the games? Don't we need a mirror to look into our own faces for accountability and restraint?
Perhaps we need to dig a little deeper to understand why people are dancing with addiction.

It is unlikely it will ever happen, this will require for the experts on the human mind to accept there are systemic problems and to acknowledge that people are responsible for their actions, no matter how bizarre those actions could be, but in my experience they do the opposite, they are always trying to find fault on anything except the person which committed those acts, blaming the family, the environment or their education instead of simply accepting the simplest answer in front of them, which is that people should be held accountable for what they do and stop blaming others for their problems.
