Went across the border to LA casino yesterday (just to eat), and just for s's and giggles I counted the # of TX vehicles on about 3 aisles before I could park. 92 out of 120 cars were from Texas.
I used to be against having casinos in our state, but considering these hard times, these are tax dollars that could be better applied to our own state.

A friend of mine is a pit boss at the Inn of the Mountain God's in Ruidoso and claims at least 50% of they're customers are from TX. I don't doubt his claim, I've never been up there that I don't run into several people that I know in town and we're only about 25,000 population.

Gambling will not help TX. I left a pro gambling state. Gambling doesn’t produce any money at all.

I feel the same...why drive to Shreveport when you can put a few up off 35-E or 45-S and just keep the dollars in state.I mean what is it? An hour outside of Dallas til you get to a casino?
Silly...just build some here. Maybe limit them to 25 for the entire state?
