Manila Casino Attacker Was a Gambling Addict, the Philippine Police Say - New York Times

Tim Landis Business Editor @TimLandisSJR

Video gaming in Springfield is at the saturation point if trends in gambling tax collections are an indication.

Taxes on gambling terminals have raised approximately $5.8 million, including license fees, since gaming began in the fall of 2012, according to figures from the city Office of Budget and Management. The city also continued to lead the state at the end of April with 576 terminals at 126 locations. Rockford was second with 431 terminals at 90 locations.

But city budget director Bill McCarty said tax revenue from terminals has stabilized at about $120,000 a month for several months, even as the overall number of terminals has increased. At the end of April 2016, 538 terminals operated at 120 Springfield locations, according to figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

"Given the relative stagnation of revenues in the $120,000 range for many months, it would appear that perhaps we have reached the saturation point with the number of terminals," said McCarty. "The fact is, there are so many machines in place, one has to assume video gaming is convenient for anyone who wants to play, and therefore, most of the revenue produced by new machines will likely come at the expense of existing machines, rather than new money."

The state collects a 30 percent tax on net terminal income -- amount gambled minus amount paid out -- with five-sixths going to the state and one-sixth to local governments. In the year ended April 30, according to Gaming Board numbers, $134.3 million was wagered on Springfield terminals with about $101.7 million paid out and net terminal income (the equivalent of gambling losses) totaling more than $3.2 million. State law sets payoffs as a percentage of wagers.

Springfield gambling taxes have been set aside for road and other infrastructure improvements.

Mayor Jim Langfelder said he believes video gaming has gone well beyond what was intended by the original state law. He added that he has asked city attorneys whether it would be possible to limit further expansion, though he said he does not yet have a specific proposal.

"I always thought it should just be allowed at the bars and nowhere else," said Langfelder. "Today, it's the gas stations, the restaurants; we've had barbershops want them. Everybody wants them because it can add a different aspect to your business.

"What we have to keep in mind is this is entertainment for people 21 years of age and older. Now, I hear people say, 'I take my child into a restaurant, and they think those are video games that you can play, and it's gambling.'"

The widespread availability of video gaming also figures into the possibility of a downtown casino, said Langfelder. There were discussions of a Springfield casino during the spring legislative session, but lawmakers adjourned Wednesday without voting on gambling expansion. Any casino proposal, the mayor said, would be subject to a local voter referendum.

"We want the opportunity to say, 'Yes, we want a casino,' or, 'No, we don't.' But if we do have a casino, it should be in downtown," said Langfelder.

Is there too much video gambling in Springfield? - The State Journal-Register

I currently work at the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Council of Saratoga County, as the youth outreach coordinator, partnering with the New York Council on Problem Gambling on the YOU(th) Decide Project.

I am writing to express excitement and gratitude that over 90 resolutions were signed in support of the YOU(th) Decide mission, and 21 policies were signed that affected over 7,000 youth across New York state.

The Mission of YOU(th) Decide is to empower youth to make educated decisions regarding their gambling behaviors, and prepare communities to work together to prevent underage gambling.

Did you know that among United States youth between the ages of 14 and 21, 68 percent have gambled in the past year, and 11 percent have gambled twice a week or more? Of those youth, 6.5 percent are at risk for, or have already developed, a gambling problem.

Underage gambling brings with it a number of negative consequences, including, but not limited to:

Increased likelihood of developing a gambling addiction;

Increased risk of delinquency and crime;

Damaged relationships and poor academic performance;

Mental health issues including depression and substance abuse disorders;

Overall poor general health;

And attempted and completed suicide.

There is not just one person, nor one group of people, who are affected by underage gambling. There is not just one factor in someones life that alone leads to underage gambling. There is also not just one strategy that will along prevent underage gambling.

Philippines Says Casino Attacker Was High-Rolling Gambling ... - Wall Street Journal (subscription)

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) on Sunday maintained that it was implementing strict measures to fend off gambling addiction among customers of licensed gaming establishments in the country.

The state-run gaming firm issued the statement after authorities discovered that Jessie Carlos, the gunman behind the deadly attack on Resorts World Manila which left 38 people including himself dead, was a gambling addict.

It is the agencys hope that gaming in the country will remain to be a form of entertainment and not a means to destroy individuals and families, Pagcor said.

As the governments gaming regulator, Pagcor ensures that such strict measures on responsible gaming are implemented not only by Pagcor-operated gaming establishments, but by all its licensees, it said.

Pagcor said it had been strictly enforcing a code of practice for responsible gaming in casinos and other similar gambling establishments nationwide to prevent gambling addiction and minimize potential harm to individual players and the community.

Aside from using traditional and social media platforms, Pagcor said it had set up a 24/7 hotline and tapped the assistance of private groups to raise awareness on gambling addiction and help in the rehabilitation of gambling addicts.

Carlos had been barred from entering any gambling facility upon the request of his family, according to Pagcor.

Aside from player exclusion Pagcor also enforces stricter regulations for its electronic games and e-bingo sites. Among these were banning of minors, known addicted players and the strict enforcement of distance requirements for electronic gaming sites, Pagcor said.

Meanwhile, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) expressed condolences to the victims of the attack on Resorts World Manila.

On behalf of the international tourism community, UNWTO conveys its heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the families and friends of the victims and to the Filipino people, UNWTO secretary general Taleb Rifai said in a statement released through the Department of Tourism.

Pagcor sets measures vs gambling addiction - Inquirer.net

BATANGAS CITY Jessie Javier Carlos, the gunman in the recent attack at the Resorts World Manila, was also a big player in cockfighting in Tanauan City in Batangas province where he used to own a two-hectare farm for breeding his fighting cocks.

He used to gamble big (amounts) like P100,000 to P500,000, a city official, who refused to be named, said on Sunday.

He was very impulsive. Malakas pumusta (A big bettor). He would allow himself to lose P1 million (in cockfighting) in just one night, said Dodong Ablao, village chairman of Barangay Darasa where Carlos farm used to be, adding that he and Carlos had been friends for the last five years. Ablao also runs the cockpit in the village.

In November 2016, Carlos sold the farm to another person for P10 million and Carlos received half of the payment only in January.

Ablao said Carlos had debts to pay and the last time they saw each other was when Ablao brokered the sale of the property.

He also sold away some of the fighting cocks, the others he transferred to another location, Ablao said.

On Friday, Carlos wielded a rifle as he attacked the casino, setting baccarat tables on fire and stealing P113.1 million worth of casino chips before he burned himself to death. He sustained a gunshot wound before he committed suicide by burning. Thirty seven people, among them guests and employees, died mostly from suffocation.

It was only on Sunday when police confirmed the identity of the gunman.

The Department of Finance also confirmed Sunday that Carlos was their former employee. But it said Carlos was dismissed from government service in 2012 for failing to disclose all his assets in his SALN or statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth.

An earlier report said Carlos acquired the Batangas farm in 2010 for P4 million.

Never violent

I was shocked (upon learning the casino incident). He was addicted to gambling but was never a violent man, Ablao said.

Aside from the farm, Carlos also offered his rifle, the same weapon he used in the attack, for P100,000 to Ablao but the village chief refused to buy it, saying he was not into guns. He said he was not sure if Carlos had secured a permit for the rifle.

Thinking about it today, I feel guilty. If I had bought the gun, he wouldnt probably have the guts to attack (Resorts World), Ablao said.

Carlos also asked his help in selling his chainsaw, which Ablao described as heavy-duty and imported.

Casino addiction

Asked why Carlos owned a gun, Ablao said Carlos liked firing his gun just to show off to his friends coming to the farm.

But one time, I told him that if (the city) mayor gets wind of it (the gun firing), I would not be able to answer for him. He stopped (gun firing) since, Ablao said.

He said Carlos did not have any other addiction aside from gambling.

Ablao said Carlos became addicted to casinos after he lost big in a cockfight.

He tried the casino and won back a big amount. Thats how it began, he said.

Even after losing his job at the DoF, Ablao said Carlos kept betting big amounts in the casino or to cockfighting.

I believe he also brokered in the customs, he said when asked where Carlos might have obtained his money for gambling.

Ablao said Carlos continued playing even when heavily indebted already until he was banned from the Resorts World on April 3.

He, however, did not know exactly the reason for the ban but thats probably when he lost it (his senses), Ablao said. SFM
