    To expand on Vegas’ woes, online gambling has exploded. Why bother driving several hours or take a plane to a desert city to play in several casinos when you can bet on a game or a bunch of outcomes by just using your phone?

      no only that but they got rid of the physical machines and replaced them with screens that you play the same phone gambling game on. the magic is dead. every casino looks the same and has the same 2 machines playing the same exact games on screens.

      Also, at least in my area, there are these skeezy little gaming parlors that have popped up in every strip mall where the Curves used to be.

      Back in my day you had to drive over state lines to legally ruin your life.
