What is a casino's reach?

Just how far out do casino reach? So many of these casinos that sprouted around the country have grown. They've built extensions and added features. Oh sure, some Indian casinos are still stuck by the side of a remote and rutted road and are filled with nothing but hopes as a few lost fishermen happen to drive by or something, but aside from the truly desperate hopes in remote areas, most casinos seem to be growing at a phenomenal rate.

Tribes are opening new casinos, tribes that barely existed before are now building casinos.

Even the Seminole's "small" casino in Immokalee's farm fields expanded to include party pits, sushi restaurants and greatly increased floor space. How can a tiny casino that the Seminole's own negotiators seemed ready to sacrifice during compact negotiations have grown so much.

Follow the money.

Hugo Chavez closed all the casinos in Venezuela last
year because they were doing too good and he felt
he wasn't getting enough of a cut. He put 100,000
people out of work. What a leader.. :-)

Actually he closed the casinos to protect the poor against biased dice. At least that's what Harley told me !

I heard he closed them because he went to shoot craps in Caracas and when it was his turn to shoot, everyone was playing the dark side. Pissed him right off.
