As someone who has a family member who's a addicted gambler its unbelievable how far they'll go to satisfy their need to gamble, and how deep they'll go. This family member gambled away her entire retirement fund in about 6 months which was a significant amount of money, and she didn't tell anyone until she had driven herself into debt. As far as how far these gamblers will go, its likely that even if they were tossed out of the casinos they would have ended up at some corner dive popping coins into VLT's. They're looking for the simple solution to a complex problem, but nobody is going to keep themselves out of the casinos no matter what document they sign unless they're will to avoid these casinos.
