It's crazy to me to think it's right at anyones finger tips now. Growing up in the 'Couve we would make the 25 minute drive up to La Center for the card rooms to play blackjack and poker. The first time we went up, me and a couple buddies were 18, sitting at the table and everyone was congratulating 'Joe' (no idea what his name actually was 25 years later) who was sitting next to us. We start talking and turns out his wife had given birth to 1st child earlier that day and just hours later he's in a depressing card room in La Center, WA.
Bunch of Vegas casinos and restaurants are doing a big 5 day sale because numbers are down going to the city. The sportsbooks there are dead because you can do it all from your phone at this point. The hotels are over priced, along with charging for every little thing, while jacking up the table minimums and making the odds even worse for the gambler (6/5 on BJ, a Triple 0 on roulette) and taking away even more of the illusion that you can beat the house.
