For all the people who don’t care about my posts, I sure do get a lot of responses.

Okay, I hate to beat a “dead horse”, but since you asked and haven’t kept up, here is the question I asked Tableplay:

What is the primary reason governments (local and state) approve casinos? Basically why are casinos alllowed to operate?

And tableplay answered this question by saying for the interest of casinos....basically to make casino owners wealthy.

Obviously, this was a stupid and incorrect answer so I had to flunk him. I felt bad about it but there was no way I could pass him with that answer.

The correct answer is governments approve casinos to generate economic activity, which generates tax revenue for state and local governments. Casinos operate FIRST because governments allow them to operate. Governments primary interest in allowing casinos into their states and local comminites is NOT because they want casino companies to get rich, which is what tableplay thinks.

I want people to know that because tableplay kept trying, and I could tell he was slowly getting it, I did end up passing him with a C-. And he’ll get first crack at my next question/class so he can redeem himself. So there is hope for him.

I’ll also be giving him a discount on my next bootcamp for APs. I hear there is more money to be made in bootcamps than counting cards.
No I never wrote anything like that. How amazingly pathetic.
I don’t want to derail another thread but since tableplay is still upset he flunked my test on his first couple tries, I decided to clear this up once and for all. I went back to the original thread, Anti Gambling, anti casinos, that Alan started to find the exact question and tableplay’s answer.

On post #73, I asked in a sentence set off from the rest of my post: “Why do governments approve casinos?” There was nothing ambiguous about my question, as tableplay continues to say.

In post #76, tableplay finally relinquished and answered my question. His answer was, and I’m quoting him word for word (no hyperbola): “Sure no problem - casinos operate in the first place because their owners wish to make a lot of money.”

I’m sorry but this is a stupid and incorrect answer.

Casinos operate in the first place because governments allow them to operate. If a government didn’t approve a casino, they wouldn’t be able to operate.

To tableplay’s credit, he tried even thought he failed misabable. Kj refused to even answer the question.

The next logical question to ask is why do governments approve casinos? Tableplay would probably get this question wrong too. It’s to generate economic activity to generate tax revenue (or sharing revenue programs in the case of Indian casinos) for state and local governments.

My point is governments aren’t approving casinos first for casino’s interest as tableplay thinks. A byproduct of governments letting casinos into their community is some casino owners get wealthy.

I hope I was able to clear that up. And tableplay I told you I finally passed you with a C- because I could tell you were really trying.
