I hope we get them. I probably won't go since I don't like gambling. But, any injection of cash in Ohio can't hurt.

they're a bad idea, especially since that money wouldn't go where it needs to (public schools).

Where would the money go?

What about the jobs it would create? I've heard 1 casino could create up to 5,000 jobs. That's nothing to sneeze at.

A job is a job. It is better than me paying them money through my taxes. I would much rather them tend bar, wait tables, cash chips, clean rooms, etc etc.

They can create jobs but ever since Detroit opened up three casinos, I've been seeing an unusual amount of commercials for help for gambling addiction.

They are required to have those commericals in places where casinos are. It is usually a deal the state/county/city sets up.

they are probably doing that cause it was in the agreement. like how most cigarette companies have the quit smoking hotline on their packs.

state probably told them to.

my parents like to go to detroit and windsor alot. hell this summer they went like every other weekend. lots of money that coulda been spent in ohio rather than michigan.

About 3% of people develop a gambling issue...

But, the thing is here in Cincinnati they can drive to Indiana. (less than 30 minutes) In Toledo they can drive to Detroit.

So it isn't like Casinos are a hard thing to come by.

i went twice. once with my parents when i was 19, which was a little boring and once with my buddies a couple months later. i won 250 bucks in the first 10 minutes, and we left and went out on the town. made for an interesting evening haha. 19 yrs old, 500 bucks in his pocket, wasted, made for a good time.

the night ended with me walking around windsor by myself after all my buddies past out, wasted looking for the full body massage parlor and a buddy of mine ordering 2 hookers for 150 bucks out of the phone book. today, more than 5 years later and we still have the standing joke of 2 for 150. i ended up at an after hours club where they offer you like 10 different kinds of X when you walked in like it was candy, and partying with a stripper that i had met a few hours earlier. still get a goofy grin on my face when i hear a couple of the songs that played in that strip club that night haha

club cheetah and jason's were the two best strip clubs ive been to in my life. jasons probably the best, although the shower on stage in cheetah made for good times.

Should've purchased your hookers in Detroit. They are cheaper. Was that $150 Canadian or American?
