Do you look at the intention of the "gambler" or the nature of the
"casino" (or both? and how do they relate?)
I mean, state lotteries are used to fund school systems but if you
really wanted to fund a school system it would probably be more
effective to make a direct donation yourself. People who play lottery
tickets are hoping to win when they do so, not necessarily hoping to
improve their local school system.

Dear Hasan,
No, I didn't say that. Lotteries are for charitable purposes. Even
when they are run by the state they are usually to raise money for
things like education.
The distinction I'm making is between gambling for recreational
purposes (which to my understanding is forbidden) and gambling as a
part of charitable fund-raising (which for the time being the House is
leaving to our own discretion.)
warmest, Susan
