Pfft. That's a pretty unconvincing argument. Here's a selection of ads from a casino in the Bay Area. The insinuation that you'll strike it rich (and date three tiers up, if you're a man) is pretty strong:

The tobacco industry got banned from using this sort of psychological advertising years ago, I don't see why casinos should be treated any different.
- mejari 10y ago"cash club members can win in wonderful ways" You're proving my point exactly. I never said there wasn't an insinuation that if you play you could win, just that there is no guarantee given. See my other reply for examples of non-casino businesses doing the exact same thing.

- HeavenBanned 10y agoWhen "can" is so mind-numbingly abstract as to mean "are able to" or "permitted" then your point is absolutely useless. Unless you're a trained lawyer, this easy psychological tactic works on a vast majority of people and they fall hook line and sinker for these advertisements (which were banned for Tobacco companies). Why should they also be able to do that given the presence of gambling addiction, corruption and crime?
- weberc2 10y agoIt seems like everyone else in this thread is talking about insinuated promises, and you're appearing to refute them by saying they weren't actual promises. No one disputes that they are only insinuations, so either you're posting off topic, or you're refutation is invalid. Take your pick.
