You could deposit the income into peoples accounts daily(or even hourly) instead of monthly. When a gambler or alcoholic gets hungry enough, they will buy food. Alcohol and food will be so cheap anyways the casino's and bars will give it away.

Set it up so people, if they choose, can have some portion of their income paid directly to their land lords/debtors. Land lords will probably start offering free room service to attract renters. The food will be prepared and delivered by robot butlers.
