Gambling in the lakes region?

Bettina 2 · 11-16-2008, 01:16 PM

What are the general thoughts on gambling in this area? Is it increasing (Bingo at Funspot and the table games at the dog track in Belmont)??? Or have these been going on for years with no change in attendance?

Me...personally? I would love to see the Weirs put in a beautiful Mohegan Sun type of casino (assuming our economy recovers, that is).

However, I must confess, I've been coming to the lake area for only 4 years. Although I have had great experiences to last a lifetime, I have no wonderful childhood memories to cherish...nor am I a purist in preserving what used to be.

What is the general opinion of this board? Want to increase gambling with casinos that could generate year-round business, or are you appalled at the mere idea?

Please go gentle with me on your replies

. I'm just curious. I have no vote in making any changes to this area whatsoever...the voters in this state (of which I'm not one) would be the ones to decide on that. They keep saying "NO".
