I know a few stories.
I have a friend, a dude I've known my entire life, great guy. Type of guy who pulled himself through College, then University on his own dime. Hard working dude. His folks on the other hand have been on welfare for 30 years. He now works in a pretty decent position and gives them a bit of money every month. Enough to pay the rent, get groceries etc.
Every month they wait for that money to go to the Casino. They loose everything in a manner of hours and then head back home. Sometimes they don't have enough to put gas in the car to get to their under the table jobs.
It's sad as fuck. All this started with the one of the parents winning 5k in one night. The casino must have made back that money 10 fold by now.
It's an amazing business, people hand you money and you give them absolutely nothing in return.
