Gambling with a Payday Loan

I know this post does not relate to Las Vegas, but we just got a mailer from a local Casino here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. River Spirit just started a new check cashing service, where you can cash a check and the Casino will cash in 7, 14, 21 0r 28 days (you call it). What a convenience. I'm sure they are really convinced that problem gamblers wont have a problem with it. Vegas in single digits.
If it is a Payday Loan, as your title suggested, not good for the gambler, that's for certain.
I wonder which will be featured more prominently throughout the casino, flyers for their new "service" or flyers for the problem gamblers hotline. Hmmm, let me see....

Even if they're interest-free, you've crossed the threshold from gambling with money you can't afford to lose to gambling with money you don't yet have. I'm waiting for the day when the casino sets up stations where the people who can't pay off these markers can donate blood (or other fluids) or even organs to pay them off.

Don't walk away. RUN away...
Disgusting, even by casinos' typical low standards for ethics and morality.
