Landmark bill would ban computerized lottery drawings in DelawareReply
Nothing personal, but you anti-electronic drawing guys and gals are self-deceived. Random number generators do not equal corruption or any intent to pay fewer prizes. Make sure you get your facts straight before you jump on the emotional bandwagon of fear. It's a pretty easy jump; easier than doing a little research and using common sense.First fact: Lotteries across the country, including Delaware, Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc., are paying out a higher percentage of sales in these rece

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
Of course they would lose more if they got caught. But show me one criminal, just one, who thought to himself while committing his crime, Gee, I'm sure I'll be caught doing this; wonder how long I'll be in jail? I Guess I'll have to wait and see. No one thinks they'll be caught committing a crime.

I still remember having to pay $5 just to get on; luckily all the ones I have visited (4) that is no longer the case, the casino pays it. Going through security there is an electronic counter. The closest one, Caesars, was forced to sell due to IGC. Sent them an email regarding this and the
