Les Bernal says that there is a core adversarial relationship between the gambling operator and the citizen who uses the system, making gambling one of the most disturbing and predatory addictions in the nation. Les is the national director of Stop Predatory Gambling, a national advocacy of individuals working to stop this damaging epidemic. Les breaks down the history of commercialized gambling in the states and reveals who is behind organizing and protecting the nasty underpinnings of the gambling industry nationwide. Commercialized gambling preys upon low income citizens and today’s technology allows anyone to access fast and easy gambling with just a swipe of their smartphone or tablet.
