So will this be just stupid slots? Or are we talking Texas Hold 'em' too?

Can't read my, can't read my

No he can't read my poker face

I think a responsible thing would be to have a group set up that would go around to the schools and educate kids about the casino and what risks are involved with it. Kids are going to be VERY curious with all of the advertising they will be seeing as well as hearing about it from other people/friends/parents. DARE is in place to educate kids about the risks and dangers of drugs. A good idea would be to have something similar regarding gambling. IMO of course.

There is a new MGM in Detroit and I only went down once in the three years I lived there(never went to the old MGM either) , but went to Vegas 3-4 times. No one I knew really went downtown either for the Casino. Atleast when you go to Vegas you make a trip out of it. When it's local it is just not as fun. Most of the people I know that actually live in Vegas don't go to the strip very often.

I just did a quick search, and the last place I smoked in a casino was Atlantic city last year, which also has a smoking ban, but you were allowed to smoke on the casino floor. Turns out that there was a loophole, and smoking was eventually banned in the casino 5 months after I was there. 12 days later it was overturned/delayed for a year, and now allows smoking in up to 25% of the casino floor.

Every casino I've ever been to allowed smoking in the gambling areas.

 

But you've never been to a casino in Ohio which has a smoking ban..... I bet $20 the state doesn't allow smoking anywhere inside.

 

I was amazed that in Vegas casinos the smoking wasn't a problem. You can't smoke anywhere close to food sales and on the casino floor the smoke eaters must have been heavy duty because it didn't bother me or the wife at all.

 

I'm not a big gambler, but I'm happy that we're finally going to get casinos in Ohio. I've been to Vegas, and about all the casinos in Indiana and always had a great time.

 

It's hard to beat Vegas... Vegas is and will be my favorite vacation spot from now on. Sit at the bar and play video poker and drink like a fish for free the entire time... I loved it.

I'm curious as to why it passed this time? What changed people to vote yes this time?

 

The economy hasn't gotten any better like many were hoping it would. So they figure ah fuck it whats the worse that can happen. Plus it'll bring tons of jobs to Ohio and keep money in state. Thats just my opinion on why it passed.

No but Atlantic City does. There is always some loophole, it just depends on how Ohio ends up doing it. I bet you're right though and it wont be allowed.

Until the Casino's Mob contacts send out a squad of Joe Pesci types to break some skulls. :p

 

You may be right, but I think they'll find a way around it. I see cigar shops all over that allow smoking and it appears legit. Maybe you have to be a "member" of their "private" club to smoke on the premises or something, but they're getting away with it somehow.

Walker wrote a good commentary against the passage. I, like many on CU, have no problem supporting Casinos in Ohio. But this bill sucks.

 

The current preliminary designs call for a one story casino just like the one pictured. Cleveland will have a huge multi-story glass complex sponsored by the majority owner of the Cavs.
