I want it for the revenue stream it would create for our broke arse state. People are going to gamble on the games either way so LA might as well make some money off of it.
To the extent it draws gamblers from other jurisdictions, it's a net revenue positive. Money gambled by local citizens is just cannibilized from other local businesses. What you gain in casino taxes you lose from sales taxes.

Its none of your damn business what other people spend their money on if it doesn't hurt others.

I helped keep that number down. I took LSU to cover against Auburn.

People are going to part with their money. No one is forcing them to gamble. If they are going to gamble anyways, why the hell not have it spent and taxed here?

Dads lose money to the casino that was supposed to feed their kids.
Can be said for alcohol, tobacco, strip clubs, movies, tv, cars, shoes, etc. All of those are legal.

You have that backwards. The people who can afford to go to casinos don't. The ones that do are the exception. So what if the money would have stayed in LA, it stays at the casino.
You realize there is a difference between the lazy senior blowing their social security check while smoking at a one-arm bandit at the Treasure Chest, and a wealthy out of towner who spends a weekend at a high end casino resort?

You are right. How much money is Jesse's house in Destrahan draining from the economy, by being considered tax-exempt property?

Casino tax in LA is 21.5% of adjusted gaming revenues... i'e. gaming collections less winner payouts.
Sales tax is less than half of that.

So you believe in government dictated morality? Why do you give a shite if someone blows their money on gambling?

Talk about a waste of money, giving it to some preacher so he can buy a bigger jet airplane.
Jesse Duplessis ring a bell?

I bet this is news to the gaming commission in MS because casinos only reported $645k in winnings (all combined) in MS for sports betting.

tells me that us Mississippians (and some of our Louisiana brethren) had a hell of a lot of fun at the sports books in August.

Not the casino’s fault if people get addicted
Quit using casinos as a scapegoat
