I was just about to post that only Native Americans (Specifically Poarch Creek) can run casinos in Bama. I live close to the one in Wetumpka and it’s parking lot stays full. The couple of times I’ve “donated” money to them, they were packed.

In many ways people don’t consider what the revenue means. Gambling promotes jobs, sales of products, and money for roads and education on and off tribal land. In many ways, Gambling should have been a four letter word. But people in Washington state are staunchly against ‘gambling everywhere’ proposals. They tolerate current levels of gambling because it is limited primarily to tribal facilities and effectively regulated (kept in one place and watched). So with the generation of revenue for the state along with the tribes, it is holding its own and producing for a lot of people.
