This the the most stupid thing I've ever heard today, they despise him for what? Is the the one controlling the chicken? People can be mean at times, what's this? The fate of who wins and who lose depend on the performance of those chickens, one have to lose and one have to win.
The problem isn't the game owner but that of the people who are coming to risk all they have on the game, they are irresponsible that's why their family are hating the game owner which is wrong, they should hate their own brothers and fathers for throwing money away this so easily.
It's best if they can control their people to be a responsible gambler instead of hating the game owner, this can also be the case with the first brother than has a gambling location, these are both gambling and no different, just risk only what you can afford to lose and you will be alright.
