Am I the only one that thinks that maybe the experiment is over and it’s time to just shut it down entirely? Does it really bring in all that much money? Can we just licence a company to pay us that amount of money and let them run it instead?

Ephraim, letting organized crime run the casino would probably kill any union that is currently active in protecting worker’s rights there.
Is that realy what you are prescribing?

As usual, you see things that aren’t there. Corporations are NOT organized crime. Ontario has casinos and they are run by corporations instead of the provincial government. The government regulates them and make sure they are organized crime. The same way as they are in Nevada. The Quebec government is not a efficient operator.

They are NOT organized crime. That’s the point of the regulators. Gov’t gets their money from the fee for licencing and lets the corporations do the rest, like figure out how to get people into seats. I’ve been to good casinos and bad casinos and the slot machines here don’t draw people and there are empty tables when there are people to play because they won’t lower limits to get tables active.

Obviously organized crime has never succeeded in infiltrating gaming corporations or regulators…
