Because I suck at gambling and lose money every time I go.
Play the nickel slots very slowly, and down free beers very quickly. Not a bad deal if you play it right.

I love that this has become the "no taxation without representation" of the COVID crisis


The flashpoint in any conflict is rarely the most obscene injustice, but often the most obviously incomprehensible. Once government oversteps their authority with something so completely inexplicable and indefensible, they lose legitimacy fast. An illegitimate Government is an ignored government. Ignored governments act out with increasing harshness for attention like a toddler throwing a tantrum. This has the opposite effect and turns people from ignoring the government to abjectly defying it. That’s where this is going if these governments don’t start backing down big time.

The idea is to continue social distancing on the floors. Employees will need to wear masks while working, and spacing between table games and slot machines will need to be put in place.

Great, what about the chips, machines, tables, and cards that who knows how many people touch each day?

Why?


They're trashy and add nothing to our culture. I'd be fine with one upscale casino resort in NOLA, catering to a high end clientele. That's how it was sold to Louisiana to get casino gambling legalized. Unsurprisingly, it quickly became something else. I wouldn't ban them, but I sure wouldn't shed any tears if they went out of business.

So you aren't concerned about the fact that there were already capacity limits?

But you liken the enforcement of a reduction of those limits to the Gestapo?

Much needed purse incentives

Those fire code restrictions were known when the casino was designed so they adjusted their floor space for the amount of guests needed to generate a profit. Adjusting anything beyond that hurts the business and is very draconian.
