Fucking great zine. Brought to you by Razorcake veteran Jim Ruland, he chronicles the ins and outs of what it is like working at an Indian casino for five years. He relates his experience and knowledge to working at Disneyland and how it can destroy or enhance the magic. Answering your burning questions such as: “How much of the experience is authentic?” “How much to the owners care?” “What kind of people are you surrounded by?” But arguably the most important question is “When will jackpots payout?” My favorite part is the deconstruction of the people. Who goes to a casino and why? There are hundreds of thousands of answers to that question but it’s fascinating to see so many people attracted to gambling and to witness a mental compulsion in action. –Simon Sotelo (Vermin Enterprises, vermin.bigcartel.com/product/this-is-not-a-camera)
