I'm still at odds. On one hand I know that is they really do hire people from Ohio, we need the job boost. On the other hand, I just haven't read the fine print and I would want to make sure the casinos played by the rules.

All I know is that if I see one more advertisement I'm going to rip it out of the ground and stomp on it (not really but it sure is tempting).

Yes, we do need the jobs, but I feel like people think that this is the solution to all of Ohio's economic woes. That just isn't going to be the case.

Just FYI, the casino in Pgh is apparently laying a giant egg. Then again they don't have roulette, blackjack etc. My advice is either do it the whole way (table games & all) or don't bother.

However, the casino here in Erie, PA (Presque Isle Downs and Casino) is doing very well. While it also doesn't have any table games (which are still illegal in the state), I think it helps that they have a racetrack with a restaurant and bar overlooking it.
I know a few people who work/have worked there, and they say that it's pretty busy on weekends. And weekends when races like the Kentucky Derby take place, it's crazy.
So I guess you never know. But I think a lot of it also has to do with location, location, location!

We're too close to Wheeling (who just added table games). I'm thinking this would affect some Ohio cities as well - call me crazy, but I can just see Youngstown trying to jump all over this.
