I do not gamble either other than a $2 mega millions or powerball if the jackpot is greater than $300m. I also know that it is a waste of my $2. But the headaches I would deal with if I won... I don't think I'd want to.

Yeah but when you screw over 50 people that thought they were going to Italy and probably will never see their money back it's more than destroying their own life.
My elderly neighbor blew through her husbands $200,000 pension and ran up credit cards around $80,000. She passed away and the kids had to sell the house and put her husband in a home to pay the bills she ran up off.
What other addiction does someone pick up at 70?
I've know your takes after many years here though and it doesn't surprise me with this one.

Yawn. You might be surprised to learn I am someone who was screwed over by a gambling addict. Multiple times. And I still don’t care.

I'm sorry that I missed out on applying. I could have just done the training, picked up some cash, and gone on disability for carpal tunnel syndrome. Is that still a thing?
Happy Valley Casino is offering a free, 12-week Dealer School, with classes starting in December and January. So far it has received more than 250 applications, mostly from State College area residents, and those accepted will be paid $15 an hour for training 20 hours per week.
College kids only have so much money. The locals aren't going to blow in what little they have for Lubert.
MFG those food options sound and look atrocious. What an afterthought.New Renderings, Operational Details Unveiled for Happy Valley Casino

“When a player gets hungry, they have a place to go real quick to get something good to eat and get back to playing their games,” Pearson said.
I find the above quote to be hilarious. The servers will be trained to say, "Dude, hurry up and finish your sandwich. You need to get back out there and give us more of your money".
A casino at a mall. Murica.

Tons of video game machines at our local gas station. Someone always sitting in front of one anytime I go inside.
Maybe it’s nothing more than bells, whistles, and the occasional rush from winning.
I was reading an article in The New Yorker that said that Las Vegas casinos have introduced roulette wheels with a triple zero.
this made me thnk back to math class one day to the students, "whats greater than infinity?"
Student's reply: "double infinity"
Manatree's Math says that's triple my return. Manatree's hoping to fund his retirement from Penn State on the back of Uncle Ira. Manatree's is also waiting for the optimal time to cash in on his investment in Forever Stamps. He got in on the ground floor in '07 at 41¢ a share. Currently looking at a fat and sassy 78¢ a share.
Ira: "Hoes, gambling, drugs, ya know, a college town."
I think I heard that Ira is no longer involved, and has not been for a while after selling his interest and taking an early profit. Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I heard or read that.Manatree's Math says that's triple my return. Manatree's hoping to fund his retirement from Penn State on the back of Uncle Ira.

Do you need any stamps for Christmas cards? Asking for a friend.
Squaller big time drugs open prostitution and high crimes coming to SC. A ******** in the making.
"until you've had a good cigar and a shot of whiskey, you're missing the second and third best things in life."
Actually, I'm a once upon a time connoisseur of both. Still do the whiskey in moderation but not the cigars. Lungs are not the best these days.
I've accepted that Mr Lubert will never support honoring Joe but the more money Ira Lubert can make, the more he'll stay financially involved in supporting PSU sports. Win/win

“This limited-time promotion is designed to reward early fans and build excitement leading up to the grand opening,” the press release stated.
SUUWEEET! As a resident of Happy Valley, I'm stoked. This is a great opportunity for those in debt to win big and get themselves back to the positive side of the ledger, especially seniors on fixed income and students with piles of student loan debt. Remember, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward. Happy Valley, baby! I kid. I kid.
Centre County’s only casino is still preparing for an April opening at the Nittany Mall and, in the meantime, the business is hiring and promoting for its upcoming debut. On Wednesday, Happy Valley Casino announced that it had launched an online “Countdown to Opening” promotional game that basically grants a one-time voucher for free slot play in exchange for participants’ names and email addresses. Prizes range from $10 to $100 in free slot play, and the promo can be accessed at HVCasino.com.
“This limited-time promotion is designed to reward early fans and build excitement leading up to the grand opening,” the press release stated.
That’ll be followed up next week with a career fair on two separate days, Feb. 24 and Feb. 26, that will seek to fill more than 100 open positions at the casino. The career fair will be held in tandem with PA CareerLink Centre County, and walk-ins are welcome to bring their resumes. Hours will be 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 24 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 26. at the CareerLink offices in Bellefonte (240 Match Factory Place). Among the positions being hired at the casino include IT support, guest services, security and surveillance, slot operations, table games, food and beverage, revenue audit and cage cashiers, engineering and facilities, etc. Wednesday’s limited-time promotional event and next week’s recruitment event mark key milestones in Happy Valley Casino’s journey toward a grand opening.
Plans for the casino first surfaced in September 2020, but construction was delayed for years due to a legal and bureaucratic quagmire that the casino’s owner ultimately won in 2024, with construction proceeding in March 2025.
A grand-opening date has not yet been set, but casino officials have consistently said construction is expected to be finished by March 30 with an anticipated opening sometime in April. A spokesperson again confirmed Wednesday that was still the case. According to officials, the mini-casino will initially include up to 600 slot machines, 30 table games, a full-service restaurant and a quick-serve dining option. Supporters hope it will stabilize the Nittany Mall, revitalize the area and create hundreds of jobs. Opponents have raised concerns about gambling addictions and placing a potential strain on first responders.

But will a Sohere come with a bigger runway?See, what Happy Valley needs is a Sphere; they're thinking of bringing one to National Harbor (rendering below). I don't mind casinos as long as they are in places suited for them; I don't think a college town/State College fits the bill.
Strain on first responders? Somebody help me process that one …
