Listen to Pa. Rep. Dante Santoni, says HUMUNAH HUMUNAH, when asked the question of what our casino operators are doing, that addresses the compulsive casino gambling problem, BEFORE, not AFTER one has the problem. The reason both Representatives couldn't answered the question is because there is no CONSUMER PROTECTION in our Gaming Law that addresses the compulsive casino gambling problem, BEFORE, not AFTER one has the problem. Now if Iâm wrong then please enlighten me.
Check out Sen. Orieâs testimony on SB-1088. She supports the bill but has some concerns and is disappointed that the Senate did not include additional gaming reform in SB-1088 that overwhelming passed as amendments in the House which was included in SB-711. She supports these amendments but only one amendment addressed compulsive casino gambling. This amendment would make our Gaming operators put up twenty 1-800 GAMBLER get help signs throughout their casinos. This along with the other high-tech safeguards and provisions that are Gaming Law makes our casinos operators provide things like pamphlets and posters to educate about gambling addiction, a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week hotline that provides crisis counseling, and a self-exclusion program that problem gamblers can put themselves on address the obsessive casino gambling problem after one becomes addicted. So my question has always been, why wait until someone gets addicted? Hereâs the tools that Gov. Rendell and our legislators given our casino operators to seduce their prey. 24/7 gambling, Free booze, Check cashing, Smoking areas inside, Comping and now interest free Credit. Can you think of any other industry in our country that operates in the same fashion? This week our House members will have another chance to save individuals and families in Pennsylvania from being destroyed by a compulsive casino addiction. All they have to do is vote YES this time for Rep. Clymer amendment on TABLE GAME legislation in SB-1088. His amendment will make our gaming operators, who already have in place with their REWARD/COMP CARDS a tracking system that enables them to send their patrons monthly statements showing their money and time spent gambling?
10/08/09 - Open this link and watch Senate Majority Leader Pileggie avoid my questions.
Pa. Representative, had the opportunity to save individuals and families in Pennsylvania from being destroyed by a compulsive casino addiction. All they had to do is vote YES for Rep. Clymer amendment on our TABLE GAME legislation. Rep. Clymerâs amendment will make our gaming operators, who already have in place with their REWARD/COMP CARDS, a tracking system that enables them to send their patrons monthly statements showing their money and time spent gambling? This would enable not only the gamblers but also their family members to spot a loved one's gambling problem before it gets out of hand. This legislation has been put forth in our House and in our Senate in the last three sessions and has been the only legislation since our Gaming Law passed that addresses the compulsive casino gambling problem BEFORE one has the problem.
