FAA grants approval for giant ferris wheel

I still think that you are mistaken Bob. It is true that there is no sports betting in CA, but they do have modified versions of Craps and Roulette that use cards and the games are popular

Those games are a joke. You can put a dog costume on a pig and call it a dog, but its still a pig. Why do you think CA doesn't offer dice games and games like roulette? Because NV has a strong lobby in CA, thats why. They know if CA ever gets the same casinos they have, they're going to lose a ton of business. Nevada gets a huge amount of customers from CA, 26% from SoCal alone. No way they can afford to lose even part of that, let alone what they get from the rest of the state.

So if I understand you correctly Bob, the only reason that SoCal people go tovegas is because our local casinos dont use a steel ball in roulette?The experience is exactly the same either way. Now say what you will about how enjoyable a card craps game is, People still play, and its nuts to think that such a small difference in the game is why people drive 4 hours to vegas instead of 1 hour to the injun casino.

When you look at the whole package, real roulette and craps, sports betting, slots everywhere you go, the feeling of being in a gambling town, there's no comparison. If CA ever embraces Vegas gambling, there is nothing to stop small Vegas-like gambling towns springing up. And with CA being dead broke and in debt, that can easily be on the horizon.
