When someone has to drive 4 hours to a casino and drops 100's or even 1000's of dollars on games, they're going to feel [censored] and probably not come back for a long time.

This isn't true. They probably won't even remember losing their 1000's as vividly as they do the good time they had. In fact they will probably chalk their losses up to bad luck like most fish do.

But when people have the access to wager thousands of dollars at the click of a button without feeling the pain of actually handing someone out cash, it's completely different and much more dangerous.

So you want to regulate what people can and can't spend their money on? Frankly if you are stupid enough to lose thousands of dollars playing games of chance or games of skill you don't deserve to have that money. I mean does the guy who bet his life savings on black on the roulette wheel really need to be saved from himself? What about the guy playing poker too high for his bankroll? These people made mistakes and deserve the consequences of them.
