  So is fast food. So is Junk food. Casino's were designed with no windows or clocks so patrons would lose track of time while giving out free alcohol.

    Casinos are regulated where permitted, and often flat out banned. "Sin taxes" for junk food (particularly soda pop) are becoming increasingly common. Vice industries often point to each other when trying to justify themselves, which I suppose demonstrates that there is safety in numbers. The strategy of tackling one problem at a time is countered by demands for all-or-nothing tactics, with "all" being obviously and conveniently impractical.
