You got me there Bobo. That’s why you’re the best, you’re Bobo, the forum defective. Btw, I’ve no idea where you’re going with this.

Look, I get why you’re upset. I’ve popped the ballon to your world. I’ve showed you how our government and AP are really the bad guys. The casino is the good guy, doing exactly what it’s sopposed to do when our government approved them.

You’re now struggling with accepting and understanding this. I never said forum detectives like you are smart. They are driven to find small inconsistencies that are meaningless. They aren’t smart enough to see “the big picture”. This isn’t you’re fault. That’s why some people call you “Bobo, the clown”. As for me, you’ll always be “Bobo, forum detective.”
No. Government isn't bad. Government provides a license and also provides checks and balances on both casinos and players. It's the FEDERAL government which regulates Indian casinos because gaming is now a federal jurisdiction. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that.

APs aren't bad guys either. They play in casinos to the best of their abilities within the law.

Casinos aren't bad either as long as they also operate under the appropriate laws and regulations.

Bob21 why must anyone be "bad"?
Alan, one more comment about our Federal govenrments regulating Indian casinos. Yes, that’s right. But it is local and state governments that allow them to come in. Casinos are typically approved by voters. I know this happened when the Indian casinos came into Arizona. The Arizona people voted yes for the Indian casino initiative since the state and local governments got to share some of the revenues from these casinos.

In my area, casinos come up on the ballot every election cycle and so far my community has voted no, so we don’t have casinos in my city, even though we have a lot of casinos in our state.

The Federal government cannot force a state or city to have Indian casinos. That’s why there are still some states with no casinos.

Point being, casinos are a unique business so they need to be approved by voters and governments.

When a casino opens, no one should ever criticize it, unless it is operating outside the law.
