Miami-Dade slots vote brings plans for high-roller attractions

Las Vegas-style slot machines are coming to Miami-Dade County, and with them promises of $100 million makeovers of gambling sites, luxurious facilities and more options for South Florida gamblers.

Gambling can destroy families by tempting people that should be spending money on their mortgage or on food for their families health and well being. They use the money they would have spent for their kids new clothes, shoes and toys. They use the money they would have used to pay the electric bill ect. This could lead to divorce or can cause a mother to lose her children., etc. That is where the money comes from sometimes.
This is one of those things I will teach my children to beware of. It is one of those things that can be tempting and can seem to be good but in reality, it is very bad.

People should learn to stand up to temptation but the realty of Miami's situation is that we need jobs and gabling will provide a wide range of jobs.
