The Casino Down the Street distills a three-year study on casinos and the overall dangers of gambling addiction. Just as all of my books are based on true stories, this one is also. I decided to "get in the saddle" and gamble (despite being warned against it by my father) and soon fell into the hole (literally) of addiction. With spiritual intervention, I was able to "get on the wagon" and use all of my experiences to write this book. I hope that it will help you or someone close to you. In addition to my personal experience, we will also examine the following: * How a casino ticks * The types of gamblers * Are you addicted * Do casinos intentionally get patrons hooked * Why the "golden years" are a golden goose for casinos
