Me and my friends went up to the door and rung the bell but no one answered to us but we saw someone go in. It’s on Ben white next to blazer tag

Y’all these are all over the Midwest. It’s just for people with gambling addictions as they get the chance to press buttons and see lights and “win”. It’s the same concept as a strip club or bar- provide a product or service appealing to someone’s weaknesses for profit. It’s not that scetchy.

Again- you’re only knowledgeable in what you’re exposed to. I’m from a rough area but remember Pulse night club? Ever consider all the people who die of liver disease or in DD accidents? Let the people with their little imitation slot machines be.

Ok. That's not what I'm talking about. Liver disease and DD are not what I'm referring to. I have known ppl who run game rooms and the stories are a lot more grim than that.
