There are considerate amount of activites a person could do that costs little money. It won’t break the bank to go hiking or biking. Most of us enjoy a hobby that takes us outside when time and weather allow.
Unfortunately VLTs (video lottery terminals) have caught the attention of many people making them a victim of the hyponotic addiction. They will sit for hours feeding money into these machines, and for a long time may not realize that their ‘hobby’ has become a real problem.
It is good for everyone to have a hobby, people that are content in life do. A person’s recreational activity shouldn’t be one that hurts the emotional or financial well-being of their family. Gambling at the VLTs or playing poker might have started as an innocent pasttime for some, but it has a way of controling your life once a person becomes addicted.
In the long run many people that started gambling as a hobby have found the awful outcome. Eventually their family has to say ‘enough.’ There are some people that have lost everything they own, homes, vehicles, everything they earned from hard work. Their credit cards are maxed out and they are in financial ruin.
Some people find that VLTs and gambling are like a drug. The whole act of betting their money on chance stimulates their brain causing excitement and anticipation of maybe winning. Everybody plaese remember that VLTs were not invented to lose money. they will only kick back a few dollars to keep the gambler playing and feeding.
It’s no secret that our economy is in rough shape. There are so many other hobbies to choose from and lots of activities to do outside, it dosn’t make sence for people to want to hand over money so easily. Don’t let a simple hobby like playing a VLT machine or sitting in on a poker game ruin your life.
