The Casino Down the Street distills a three-year study on casinos and the overall dangers of gambling addiction. Just as all of my books are based on true stories, this one is also. I decided to "e;get in the saddle"e; and gamble (despite being warned against it by my father) and soon fell into the hole (literally) of addiction. With spiritual intervention, I was able to "e;get on the wagon"e; and use all of my experiences to write this book. I hope that it will help you or someone close to you.In addition to my personal experience, we will also examine the following:* How a casino ticks* The types of gamblers* Are you addicted* Do casinos intentionally get patrons hooked* Why the "e;golden years"e; are a golden goose for casinos
