      It’s not gambling for the House, because the odds are already stacked in your favor.

      It’s not gambling for the state, because this is guaranteed tax revenue and campaign contributions, off the backs of people who are more than willing to feed the beast.

      It’s not gambling for the players, either. In the end, they always go to zero.
