Casinos don't make anything better. Most of the people that lived in Detroit didn't leave because they didn't have a casino nearby, Detroit had deeper problems than that. So far nothing replaced the music industry that was there, and the auto industry started losing it's edge a long time ago. People most likely once thought it would never happen in Detroit, but Detroit is not the only place something like that can happen.
Casinos seem like a way the people in charge try to convince the people that live there that everything is okay and under control when in reality it's been in trouble for a long time, and the people in charge are ignoring it because they don't really give a fuck about anything but being in charge.

A gambling house where millions of suckers part with their change, or their credit cards, or even their retirement savings, just for a chance to win that $2.5 million jackpot which will have a 1/987,150,666,074 chance of occuring in their lifetimes. Those poor folks should have remembered the Law of Large Numbers they learned in Statistics class, but they probably skipped class that day.
The one good thing about casinos is that the pawn shops right next to them usually have all sorts of neat, cheap shit that compulsive gamblers trade for some cash. I even got a Rolex watch for half the price of that in the mall.

“Hey, honey, let’s name our child a undeniably terrible name that has no value or decent meaning! What about CASINO?”

A place you go to to tip a large bucket of pennies down a drain and hope a flashing machine spits back millions of dollars.
