This is Massachusetts' Future!

Just as in Massachusetts: Let's pretend a 'taxpayer subsidized' Slot Barn will save the Dead Horse Racing Industry.

In the case of Indiana, 'River Boats' were sold to the public on the pretense of 'tourist attractions.'  Pretense disappears and they're 'land based.'

Indiana bill to allow table games at racinos tweaked to improve its odds

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Gregory A. Hall

 

The Indiana bill that would put table games at the state’s two racetrack slots parlors was amended Thursday to give it a better shot of passage, according to an Indianapolis Star story. It sounds like there may be a Senate vote on the bill Monday.

The change in SB 528 restores some of the money that local casino communities get that the bill originally would have cut even further.

The bill would allow table games at the racinos in addition to letting existing riverboat casinos move to land. The larger intent is to make Indiana’s gambling industry more competitive as Ohio’s expands.
