Massachusetts ‘Gaming’ Future

The casinos ‘COMP’ their patrons in order for them to justify their losses. This is why my safeguard ‘Casino Monthly Statements’ must be made the law. The statement would be sent to those enrolled in casino reward card programs whose winnings or losses are equal to or greater than $500.00. Those enrolled in these programs account for 80 to 85% or more of a casino's patron base.

Pittsburgh Tribune - March 9, 2014 - Wheeling loosens point system ...to lure table game players
