LeBron Doesn't Understand Casinos

The Associated Press reported on the mansion LeBron James is building in Akron Ohio. Here's the only interesting quote:

"LeBron James' 35,440-square-foot house under construction in nearby Bath Township is shaping up as a castle fit for a king -- with a theater, bowling alley, casino and barber shop."

I was pretty confused when I read this. I don't think LeBron has thought through his house planning too well. What does it mean to have a casino in your own house? I would understand if he had a poker room, but a casino? Like, does he bankroll blackjack or craps games as "the house"? Does he have slot machines? If he wins, I don't grasp what he wins - he'd win his own money, right? If it's for his friends, it seems like a selfish move to take your friends' money when your own net worth is in the hundreds of millions. It can't be that representatives of a real casino run it for him - gambling isn't legalized in Akron. It's all just baffling.

He's on the island of Bron Bron, where normal laws do not apply.
