Letter from Bermuda: Gov’t shoots down one-armed bandits

What is government for? Protecting citizens would surely rank high on the list.

Gambling, in the form of one-armed bandits in our bars and potentially casinos on the island, has been banned. Government in this instance is protecting us from ourselves.
