  1. . I think that gambling is a source of entertainment for people and that we shouldn't censor people's interests. The harmful affects of gambling should not be overlooked; however there is regulation of this business like other businesses. The number of gambling machines should be restricted, and the state revenue should be responsibly spent to ensure that it benefits the larger community.
