Premium Member A New Poker Room

The casino has been raking in the money.
To those who lose, it’s not funny.
Inside the casino, it is dark and not sunny.
With no windows, you can’t tell the time of day.
Without a watch, the money keeps going away.

Well, there’s a casino located in PA.
They have opened a new poker room today.
Anybody is invited to come in and play.
This gaming place has something to say:
Their new slogan is, “You play, we play”.
However, they don’t tell you how much they take away.
