Original projections for the viability of an NBA franchise there projected that the casinos would buy 50-75% of the tickets to give to their guests...I never thought that would happen, because the LAST thing the casino operators want to do is remove the bettors ferom the hotel for several hours each night..it's an interesting perspective...
For that to work, a casnio would have to build a new hotel/stadium complex that will have slot machines and all the tables inside so that way they can bet while they are at the game.
Of course, David Stern will never approve that.
But by 2025 when NBA is more viewed as entertainment rather than a legit game, then why not?
In that situation, it will be profitable for casino to give away 50-75% of tickets to their customers.
