It’s not whales, it’s compulsives. The stories are horrific. People have moved to non-gambling states, and the casinos send them nice letters saying, “We miss you! Here’s a coupon for a free flight to our state, you don’t even have to promise you’ll gamble, just come and have a steak dinner in us”

Trust me friend, almost nobody WANTS to spend $50k on a mobile game.

The stakes probably aren’t as high in mobile, but it’s otherwise the same dance.
