4 thoughts on “Gambling bill could help bars recover

  1. People do realize, I hope, those pull tab games (and lottery) are very often played by those who can least afford to lose. And losing is the outcome in (taking a guess) 98.5 percent of the time.

    Yes, people who want to gamble will find a way to do so. However, making it easier results in a natural outcome.

    So legislators, when do you stop using increased means of gambling to provide income to the state?

    As for the restaurant owners affected by slowed-to-stopped business because of the pandemic, I would hope you could make changes to your business by something other than offering gambling.

    1. Yes, additional gaming is not the answer. Don’t these games take dollars that might be spent on food and drink in the future?

  2. The State is in the gaming business. One other area unmentioned are the rural clubs, Am Legion, VFW, Moose, Elks, Eagles, KofC etc. Most of them are shrinking/aging away. They have always been a charitable donor for many causes. At a casino, the payout has to be far less than 50%, to the point it is just not fun. Most charity gamers run between 20-25%, much fairer to the players, with the rest going to upkeep and charity. The State takes its cut on all these private club games, too. They could use some relief following the Covid shut-down, too, and that would boost their membership.
