NY Casinos Want to Loan Money to Gamblers

So far, New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms has fought off a bill before the New York State Assembly that would allow casinos to loan money to customers to gamble away when they have exhausted their funds. The bill would also allow casinos to cash customer checks – but only if the money will be spent gambling.

Les Bernal of Stop Predatory Gambling says he’s familiar with the practice.
