They are building a resort style casino out by where my Dad lives. (North of Tulsa) I love casinos. And I never go out to Shreveport. I will probably visit my Dad a bit more often.
But I do feel bad. This is Oklahoma, these are not rich communities. There are a minority of well off individuals in these smaller towns. Poor people with a predisposition to drinking and gambling problems are only going to sink lower with the influx of all these casinos. I have to wonder if these casinos are going to truly benefit the Native American population in these communities.
