Local catholic church here is doing its part to create young gamblers. They have a carnival every year and half of it is the typical carnival games where little kids just get their money taken. Those games hardly ever have anyone playing them. But toward the back you see the game ALL the kids AND their parents are playing. It's a game where you put dollars in wooden boxes that match odds to a color. Then once enough boxes have money in them the carnival person comes and puts the plexiglass cover down over them all and then throws a ball into a pit that has a bunch of colored cups. Whichever color cup the ball lands on wins and then they go around and add money to the boxes that won and take the rest of the money.

Kids sit there playing that for hours. Parents are there shelling out money and playing too while getting piss drunk. At a fucking church fundraiser carnival.
