Gambling historically has ruined indivituals, families and thus entire communities. Time and emotions are spent hoping for instant gratification without having to work for financial reward. This is a business that preys on the weakness and risk taking habits of others. This does not lead to responsible living or being a good citizen. We can find more wholesome ways for Virginians to enjoy pastimes without risk to their all important incomes.
Please do not allow any sort of gambling machines or establishments to enter Virginia.
