The gambling license will be awarded shortly. A Slots Parlor is to open. It isn't a 'casino.' They have the right to conduct gambling at slot machines. That's it.
If we all call it what it is, a slots parlor, then we'll not see an easy expansion to table games -- without another handsome payment.
The stand-alone slots license sold for $50-million.
If there is to be an expansion to table games, we should expect them to pay an additional $300-million to $950-million. And, the approval should come after a voters have their say. And, by all means, the table games license should EXPIRE in the future.
I hate the fact that the slots license does NOT expire.
The worst thing we can do is do what the Post Gazette did in today's Sunday paper. There was a big, color, illustration showing a card game with chips so as to talk about the casino and traffic. Cards and chips won't be a part of this casion -- err --- SLOTS PARLOR. At least not in 2007.
Isle of Capri's casino proposal still favored City task force says its plan is strongest
