I am one who thinks there should be new regulations written into West Virginia code. And I didn't need to go to South Carolina to make up my mind. I simply needed to walk out of my old apartment in Charleston and up the street to a small convenience store, West Virginia-owned, where I regularly would see a woman, perhaps my age, playing video poker machines. Her children played in the parking lot adjacent to a busy East End street. I never saw any money exchange hands.
Some people say video gambling is an addiction.
If it is, then West Virginia needs to stand up and own its problem.
