There have to be at least 10 on hwy 415 alone, each grandly named a "Casino." As ws passed by well after midnight last night, on the way home from the game, most had one or two tired looking vehicles out front. No doubt some meemaw or unemployed welder blowing the last of this month's disability check. Sad!

Don’t forget about OTB.

Has anyone here with a family and responsibility ever blown their whole paycheck, as soon as they got it at a casino or similar?

I saw an offshore baw screaming like a child and crying after he did that and was outside accepting reality.

Sadly, the OTB is shuttered. No need for it when you can play the ponies online. The adult video store is still there. One wonders how they make a go of it in the age of internet porn. I ponder these things on the drive home as I listen to Hannagriff field calls from drunk Tiger fans in between Gordy's hair plug and male fat spa commercials.

It’s easier for local politicians to get a piece of trashy truck stop “casinos”.

Gambling in general, and video poker in particular, are run by the Mafia in Louisiana, and has been that way for a century now. There is no where in America where the Mob more tightly controls gambling in America than Louisiana. NJ, PA, NV "gaming" control boards have all tightened to get organized crime out. To some extent, they have been successful.

Louisiana, on the other hand, mob control has never been tighter.

Morons support legalized gambling.

I know someone who did but they were a deadbeat piece of shite long before gambling was legalized here.

A guy I work with blew his whole check (two weeks pay) at the casino and he has zero savings.

He had to go to get a check advance to pay bills and now he's in a giant hole. He also has a kid that's around 9 or 10.

People are fricking dumb.

Does he have a GoFundMe that to which we could contribute? Hate to see a guy like that get in a hole. The OT's excess money could help him climb out and I'd be glad to make the first contribution.

Why would you want to reward bad behavior? He'd probably just spend it on drugs anyway.

Because assholes like Ignatius enjoy seeing people dig their hole deeper and deeper so they can look further down their hypocrite religious noses at them.

What business of it is yours how people piss away their time or money? What if it was some dipshit tiger fan who was feeling lucky after the big game?



I’ll bet the degenerates in the “casino” laugh at how you wasted your day and money.

Just sayin
