US Casinos help gambling addicts to counter their problems. They are responsible for people's addiction to gambling. They want to attract and retain customers. Some people can play Jammin Jars for free, while others are ready to spend all their monthly wages.

18 states have laws that provide assistance to people addicted to gambling. Five states that have allowed casinos since 2004 have adopted laws regulating the creation and funding of addiction assistance programs.

In Maryland, gambling institutions are forced to allocate a part of casino revenue for the needs of the two institutions: the Training Center that has a hotline for gambling addicts and trains special counselors to help people with addiction and the University of Maryland where researchers are studying gambling addiction. In Massachusetts, lawmakers asked each state casino to contribute $5 million to a public health trust to address gambling concerns. The foundation also receives 2% of a casino's annual revenues.

All six casinos registered in Maryland earned about $161.5 million in June. A large part of this amount was returned to the local budget in the form of taxes. About $49 million was transferred to Education Trust Fund. The most successful month in terms of revenue was for MGM National Harbor - the casino managed to make about$63.6 million.
