Jackson Jambalaya

Apparently he lost some money.

Sad but true. Casinos are not a charity. They are in the business of making money off of rigged games. Total drain on society.

How's this any different than the State Lotto? State-run gambling preys upon the poor and takes advantage of their trust in their state government.

I remember when the casinos were lobbying to get into Vicksburg, they adamant to not prey on those who could not afford to go in them. A year later, they were giving away “FREE” Tupperware to people who cashed their government checks at the casinos.

This might make the “Jackson Jambalaya” hall of fame!!!!

I thought casinos had a dress code - didn't know you could get in wearing an undershirt.

His money his choice [to lose it all at the cahseeno]

I believe the state lottery was supposed to fund education, but actually winds up going into the slush . . . er, general fund.

My screen is small and my sight is not what it once was, but from what can I see, the better dressed guy just doesn't seem to fit the standard criteria of a "nigga", or does my pixels need reset??

ask any casino manger what the busiest days of the month are...............and he will tell you the 3nd , 4th , and 5th days of the month...............
and you guessed it,..................... cause the government checks get sent out on the 3nd

Casinos, just like lotteries, are designed to extract money from players. Their marketing messages call it "gaming," but it's based on actuarial accounting similar to insurance premiums and claims. They know that for every winner there will be a thousand losers. Only suckers believe they invest millions in those big buildings and all the shiny lights just on the "chance" they might turn a profit. The only ones taking chances are the players, and they aren't getting good odds. All that said, Casinos and lotteries don't force anyone to take part in their game. If you play and lose, that's on you.

316 - learn to read- or study- before you turn your fingers loose on a keyboard and prove your ignorance.

The legislation creating the lottery specifies that the first $80 million in'profits' goes to MDOT for non-interstate roads/bridges. Anything over that amount goes to the Educational Engancement Fund. At the time of passage they did not anticipate the 'profits' getting to $80 million.

Every year since it's creation, the Lottery Commission has transferred $80 million to MDOT and between $40 - $60 million yo the Educational Engancement Fund.

No lottery money has gone to the general fund.

Also, the lottery must pay out at least 50-something percent in winnings and can spend a limited (less than 10%, I think it allows) for administrative fees and expenses.

Amble through any casino located along the river and you will find a collection of human debris of similar ilk.

Went to Philadelphia this past week.

Place is looking run down and nasty. Barely any drink girls and full of folks that had no business losing money. Valet service was awful.

Food was expensive and horrible.

Not going back.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes was never more true than this conduct here.

In my entire life, I've once, out of curiosity at 19 in Denver, walked into one strip joint then right back out, no casinos. The whole casino culture is rancid, begging for death.

Dude literally lost his shirt.

@3:16 - You THOUGHT, didja?

You nor anybody else will be able to link or recall one bill, one legislative comment, one remark from the Speaker or the Lt. Governor or the governor or one newspaper article from back then that mentions casino money going to education.

YOU THOUGHT!

Well 2:41 moron.....I'd like to see who held a gun on him and forced him to go over there and keep sticking money in the machine.

Since I know plenty of people who've never set foot in a casino or bought a lottery ticket, your dumbazz statement is flawed, but like you, I figure the whole problem revolves around low IQ status!!!

Bet he was brought up hearing "It's everybody's fault, but yo'se". I'm sure the word "RESPONSIBILITY" wasn't used at the dinner table much.

He says "to-maht-ah." I say "to-mayt-er."

3:36, I was doubting what 3:16 was saying, until you came along and delivered that little slapdown. NOW, I'm pretty sure that 3:16's assertions are substantially true. Otherwise, the gaming industry would not need to pay goons to patrol the Internet.

Remember: People like this can vote, and they are prime Democrat material. It will never occur to this unfortunate that the only person or thing to blame for losing his money is himself. I think it would be fascinating to try to understand what this individual's thinking and expectations were when he started gambling, how he apparently got it into his mind that losing his money was not a possibility and a real one at that, and that somehow or another he was taken advantage of. But that might be a futile effort since people of this kind most likely don't think.

Well, this proves that you can “lose you shirt” at casinos. It also is hard to believe a nice looking sophisticated, apparently well educated, gentleman like this can fall into the gambling trap in Vicksburg. But, it certainly is nice that the casinos will cash the gamblers pay checks and often give them a .75 cent piece of Tupperware free.

Attn 3:12 PM. Casinos definitely have dress codes. But they are not enforced until the gambler runs out of money. This idiot better hope he gets paid weekly, or he going to be hungry for a while.

That appears to be a case of an ignorant person “losing his shirt”. At least they let him keep his “wife beater” tee shirt. See you next week.

The words 'calm down' incites and can cause an agitated person to become more frustrated.

"I understand your frustration."

Casino workers should be trained on what to say to an angry person.

Casinos feel like bowling alleys now. Referencing #2 @2:39pm - this guy and his ilk are actually the "total drain on society". He should have just been a man - and taken that long, quiet, misty-eyed drive home like we all have.

Wait a minute. Are you guys saying the odds are not in my favor when I play cards or slots at the Casino? I have seen their commercials. When did that change?

@9:15 - there ain't so such thing as a 75 cent piece of Tupperware.

The security needs training! Never let anyone get that close.

They should say. You are a victim of a state government that allows business to take from the weak. The state should start selling drugs to increase revenue. Oh Wait! They do!

Attn 7:37AM Sorry, I did not mean to belittle you and the other Tupperware sales people out there.

How rich! It’s easy to imagine this voter coming in to a little cash so he puts on his one good shirt and goes to the casino to “run it up” a little sump’n sump’n and ends up with nothing but a big ol’ mad-on.

At least the Casinos create jobs and pay taxes and at least operate under regulations. Fairly open on the coast but you only won when they wanted you to. I knew of at least one casino in Jackson in the 60’s. Bookies weren’t hard to find if wanted to bet on sports. Gamblers gonna gamble, drinkers gonna drink.
