LOVE THEM BOTH - JULY SHOW:
"WINNERS AVOID CASINOS"
Guest: Bruce Barron,
President of NO DICE,
The Winners Avoid Casinos Campaign was launched May 6, 2008 at a press conference in sight of Don Bardon’s casino under construction on the North Shore of the Ohio in Pittsburgh. “Although we were unable to keep casinos out of Pennsylvania, we can still encourage Pennsylvanians to stay out of casinos” said Bruce Barron in this interview on public access television. About one-third of casino revenues comes from problem gamblers. Gambling is America’s fastest-growing addiction. It is a hidden addiction, less easily detected than dependence on drugs or alcohol. It is an extremely expensive addiction. The average gambling debt of callers to New Jersey’s compulsive gambling help line is $25,000. And it is an unpredictable addiction, exerting psychological control over many who did not think they were at risk of getting carried away when they first walked into a casino. Slot machines are highly addictive, and casinos are skilled and psychologically sophisticated in their marketing. The only certain way to steer clear of the lure of gambling addiction is to avoid casinos. Even those of us who feel sure that we are not vulnerable to this temptation should not want to be a stumbling block to others, or to subsidize an industry that profits so much from the vulnerability of our neighbors. From 1994 to 2004 No Dice helped keep casino gambling out of Pennsylvania, but on July 4, 2004, our state legislators passed Act 71 and issued their Declaration of Dependence on slot machines as a source of government revenue. Now we have seven casinos operating in Pennsylvania and more on the way, including one in development here that will markedly transform the pleasant Manchester neighborhood where we stand today. So we have chosen a positive message for our campaign: Winners Avoid Casinos. We are offering bumper stickers and window clings with this message through our Web site http://www.nodicepa.org or by e-mail at nodicepa@aol.com.
FREE, COLORFUL PRESENTATIONS
We also offer free, colorful presentations on how the gambling industry works and how to respond to it. We will call on people throughout southwestern Pennsylvania to stay out of casinos and to encourage those whom they love to do the same. WHAT YOU CAN DO
DISPLAY ITEMS & WORD OF MOUTH:
Gambling has only begun to damage society. It has a way to go before reaching a level of injury that society will not accept. Fortunately, there are small things you can do to keep resistance alive and help gambling move toward critical mass when the public rejects it. Use word of mouth to educate youth and others about the unpredictable nature and severity of gambling addiction. BUMPER STICKERS and WINDOW CLINGS with the "Winners Avoid Casinos" slogan on them are available for a nominal donation of $1 each.
No Dice will also continue to call for reasonable legislation that could reduce the damage caused by casinos—such as bet and loss limits, sending monthly activity statements to gamblers and their families, and a more effective self-exclusion program. The availability of casino gambling has resulted in great suffering for millions of Americans and our shared desire to help people avoid that suffering.
