From the start, it's already wrong. the poor shouldn't be losing money in gambling just to make the operators rich. that goes against the basic principle of "gamble only what you can afford to lose." If you say someone is poor, it means they’re already struggling financially so they don’t have that kind of freedom to gamble.

But the sad part is, they still do. And yeah, the government collects taxes from casinos, but does that mean the issue of poor people getting addicted to gambling isn’t a problem? Of course it is. So if you really think about it, the money the government earns from gambling doesn’t seem to be helping the people who need it the most.
