Indian Casino’s.
most people that like to gamble would rather be in Vegas ...
my state had the opportunity to have simple video poker type machines allowed in bars, taverns and restaurants that would have brought in $40 million for the state yearly and this was about 15 yrs ago....but no, they didn't want gambling to be everywhere...after all, they had to keep their campaign contributions coming in from the indian casinos, who rule the state..who btw were given special permission to locate their big casino well off their reservation.....
