This

Compromise with the Belle. BR lets them build on land, Belle gives BR the land on the other side of the levee. BR extends the proposed park

Agreed. Edwin Edwards biography has a great segment on how this all went down. The # of riverboat licenses was literally pulled out of thin air. The law stating the riverboats had to have full time riverboat pilots is nothing but the finest example of Louisiana politics.

This. One of the stupidest concepts going.

And I don't gamble and have gone to casinos a single digit number of times in my entire life. I just don't get why anyone should give a shite whether it's on land or over water or not.

This.. And maybe someone can explain this to me. I know that casinos on Indian reservations can be on land right? But what about Harras in New Orleans? How was that able to be built on land?

Also, what about truck stops that are casinos but only have video poker? I don't feel like explaining the situation, but there was a truck stop/casino that opened and I was working in a local government department that issued the permits and I remember asking the inspector how were they able to open the a casino and from what I recall, the answer was.. The owner knew who he needed to know, to get them to sign off on it.

Also, at Evangeline downs.. You can obviously bet on horses and there is "the casino" which is a big room filled with video poker machines (which I do not like to play at all). If betting on horses and playing video poker is legal, then why not offer sports betting, texas holdem, black jack, craps, etc?
