Gambling coming to NY

[drjeff]

Now you have to find a place to put them. Almost all the proposed casinos in MA have been voted down by the towns. Everyone wants one, but in someone else's town. Good luck with nine, three can't find a home in MA yet. Not to mention if every state has a bunch of casino's it kind of dilutes the pool.

Fine with me! My state is financially run by a bunch of folks that have no sense of reality in that the overwhelming majority of their tax dollars flows in from Fairfield County via the Wallstreet Crowd who wants to escape NY's higher taxes compared to CT's (for now at least) and then they do their best to spend like revenues from all counties were equal to those of Fairfield County

The less casino dilution there is, the more revenue that CT will bring in - works in my book!

Plus, living near and using almost every day Interstate 395 , it's very likely on many afternoon, especially Thursday through Sunday that they'll be more cars with MA and NH plates heading South towards the casino's than there are CT plates on the road

They are NOT going to be any more up here. Although A.Bay wanted one but that isn't in the cards . My guess :the Cats will get the action and perhaps SW nys

Southern Catskills - Borscht Belt.

Not true. Just about everyone is invested in the stock market in one way or the other.

Nope I know a lot people who want nothing to with it I don't and will not invest in company to make money not now nit ever.

Although... I do know the Friar Tuck in Catskill is wired for slot machines...
It's been closed for years...

 

[dmc]

Yes yes... NY has wallstreet, horse racing and a lottery... don't change the subject..

Gambling: Set a $ cap on your gaming. Enjoy a game that you're good at... Maybe win a little money - maybe lose.. But enjoy..
I've seen friends play craps all night starting with $200.. And they had fun..

Oh and attack welfare people... forgot about that... Always fun!

yeah i don't think welfare is as awesome as some folks make it out to be

last night the wife and i went to the sands in bethlehem for dinner and a show...i played craps for an hour with about $70...broke even...love that game...it's the most fun and the best odds in the joint

. But if you receive any form of welfare, there should be a database that prevents you from wasting money on gambling of any type, including lottery tickets.

I bet that database would be awfully expensive to run/police. There are expenditures that should piss you off far more than welfare.

You could do it... But you have to provide the list to casinos.. There are already lists that get sent to casinos for fraud identification and stuff like that.

A total waste of time.. People that want to gamble will...

It is happening.

One more nail in Atlantic City's coffin

We had two local places in contention for one of these slots, pun intended, they didn't get it. I'm ambivalent about it, does my area need the jobs? Hell yeah, but I think it's sad that once proud "Valley of Opportunity" is now relying on casino jobs to bolster its economy, we used to actually produce things.

I don't see NY being successful either. I certainly hope Cuomo doesn't expect a wind fall from this.

Fracking on the other hand?

Eventually, they will just put the casino in Times Square and rake in the profits.
