I grew up in a flyover state with a history of very creditor-friendly laws and (limited) legal gambling. It's boringly, heartbreakingly common there to see small, multi-tenant commercial buildings where one of the tenants is a payday loan place, and another (if not the other) is a "video lottery"/casino type joint. In the limited digging I ever bothered doing, both establishments (and often the building) were ultimately owned by the same party. So, no. Not predatory at all...
