Interesting image and aptly titled.

The image immediately evoked a feeling of sadness in me as I associated the VLT with addiction (my own bias obviously). I then looked around the image and liked that you included the green ceiling as it seemed to balance out the shot and similarly the "royal" sign completes the scene.

I went back and forth on the dial thingy on the left - at first I thought perhaps a crop was in order but then felt that a crop would reduce the impact of all that space and the solitary figure so no a crop isn't the right thing to do.

I do however still find the "dial" distracting from the focus of the image and I might be tempted to clone those bright spots out.
