The responsibility of the gamble has been discussed at length, and is quite clear. The gambler should play only with money that he can afford, play wisely, and stop at the right times. However, on the other side, there is also the responsibility of the casinos, which must ensure that they fulfill all their obligations towards the player as well. Responsible casinos are a good things, as they show that casinos are the not the money grubbing businesses that many believe them to be.
There are many casinos out there, and not all of them are worthy of your gambling. Unfortunately, there are casinos that cheat the players, and strive to take their money away from them with a variety of methods. These include fixed dice, fixed roulette wheels and rigged slots. In the online casinos as well, there is a sad number of crooked casinos. However, rest assured that the fight against such chicanery is pitched, and many organizations strive to ensure that your gambling pleasure will be complete and fair. In view of this, many casinos are indeed good and responsible, and play fairly.
However, what about the responsible casinos that go one step further, and go on to deal with such phenomena as addictive gambling. There are quite a few casinos that limit the sums that players bet, and stop them completely if they go over the reasonable limit. In addition, these responsible casinos deduct a certain percentage of their profits to fighting compulsive gambling and its treatment. While not all casinos do so, a growing number does, as they grow in size and profits, they also donate back to the community in many ways. Written by Jacob Marx, Correspondent, 2.11.05
