Casinos are evil
I went to the casino today to self-exclude myself because I've lost about $2,500 in the last month. I ask for the application and the security guard hands me one and says, "Take it home, fill it out and bring it back in 24 hours."
24 hours? I thought. Why not now? I thought, then asked him aloud. He says, "It's the rules."
In 24 hours I might change my mind and think the casino isn't that bad afterall. Is that the idea? Or I'll forget about it and lose more money the next time I come. That's pure evil.

I did it! I banned myself from the local casinos. I don't know how effective it's going to be since the security guards don't check everyone who enters the premises.
If you think that is bad about waiting 24 hours, just wait til after you complete the self - exclusion. It gets worse. Here is how it is set up:
The casino has no obligation whatsoever to moniter everyone who walks in the door to see if that person is on the self-exclusion list. They let anybody at all come in to gamble. You can lose all the money you want, they don't stop you. BUT, and this is a big BUT, IF you should win a jackpot of some significant size, several hundred dollars or more, they will quickly scan their files and if you happen to be on the self exclusion list, they will walk up to you and say they are sorry but they cannot allow you to cash in as you have self excluded.
