In Part One I highlighted how believable the claims of CSIG
were (not very). While they are long on
rhetoric, they’re short on actual facts (those pesky things). What makes their arguments even more
ridiculous is the hypocrisy of the whole thing. I mean, you basically have a man who makes
billions in the gaming industry trying to stop others from making money doing
the exact same thing, only with a different delivery system

We left off in Part One talking about “the children.” We’ve documented the many cases where Sheldon’s
Bethlehem Sands in Pennsylvania has been fined for underage gamblers, but what
about his flagship USA casino, the Venetian?
Seems to me, if you really wanted to keep kids out of your casinos, you’d
do your best to not make your casino “family friendly.” Do a search for “family friendly” and “Venetian
Las Vegas” and guess
who comes up on several “Top 10” lists?
C’mon, guess! I presume having those canals, living
statues, and all those other attractions cater to kids, too. Who could have known? And guess where the “The Playstation
Experience” is next month. Think of
the children!


Finally, there’s the money laundering and “other nefarious activity”
claim against online gaming. One
word: Macau. You know who has the biggest casino over
there, don’t you (responsible for the lion’s share of his Sands Corporation
profits)? You can read all about the
money laundering, corruption, junkets and more here,
here,
here,
here, and here. Oh, and Justin Beiber was here,
too.
So to sum it up…just about every negative claim Adelson and
his minions at CSIG have made about online gaming ALREADY EXISTS in land-based
casinos, notably those owned by Adelson.
If he really, really, really cared as much as he claims, wouldn’t he
take care of the issues in his own back yard first?
Yes. Unless, of
course, he’s a hypocrite.
