>The same thing would happen in the world of Kickstarter - big asset bubbles and rampant speculation, bogus funding campaigns, graft, and exploitation. I see. So what do you call a roulette table with obviously addicted gamblers throwing their money away, then? Good old American fun?
If the gamblers are obviously addicted then I believe the casino is legally required not to serve them.
They do not. Laws governing alcohol do not cover gambling. (And even so, alcoholics have no problem getting regular drinks at their bars of choice, anyway, with few - if any - legal issues.)
Problem gamblers must self-exclude and the casinos then must do their best to adhere to these lists that the Nevada Gaming Commission sends out. (And casinos are very good, if not infallible, at doing this.) But the person must exclude his/herself.
