Nope, you'd give car away when everyone was looking

Since in my mind, this would be a natural course of business growth potential, and judging how many people come away with the perception that it is equal or less chance than Vegas, I'd say it's probably a fair shake. If I'm not mistaken (I have no facts to back this up, but it sounds reasonable), the gaming commissions setup to oversee and audit Indian gaming are pretty much the same suit and ties running Vegas and Atlantic City.

That is a scary thought, and I'll leave it at that.

That's on the corporate level. On the political level, you have lobbyist who have pockets lined with Vegas and AC profits. So, if it is weighted against the player, it's not by the will of the tribes in question, again, at least in my mind. We will probably never know... But all things equal or less than equal, if that is the case, I'd much rather be in Vegas where you get all of the rush along with your gaming. Of course, others shun the fast track and prefer the Indian casinos where the pace is a bit slower

Yippers, for $200 a night, a guy can fly to vegas or atlantic city from anywhere in these united states, even put his lady up in luxury. There are only two tribal casinos I ever play at for reals, Chinook Winds and Spirit Mountain. The Tribes don't give 1% to a charity because the state tells them to, they PUMP money into their communities. And they treat you like royalty on a $500 budget.(that's a
sweet room, dinner twice and almost 200 bucks each to play) Vegas nor Reno can touch this for accomodations, unless you are comped.
GET OUT OF WASHINGTON, or quit playing. Your tribal casinos have been compromised. Jump on a plane (for less than you probably spend in a night) and getcher ass to vegas or reno. You are going to lose all your money if you don't quit when you are ahead anywhere, but, by gawd, do it at the Alladin where the girls scream and jump and the whole freakin place lights up when you hit a jackpot... oops that was the acid and elvis, and... but anyway
Like de gambla say, you ain't seen nothin until you've at least looked out a hotel window and said, yeah. This is it. I'm here. Now let's go play! Okay, he didn't say that, but you know what I mean. It's simple, you live in a prohibitionist state, go to an airport and jump! Of course you can't smoke at the vegas airport, even in Mr. G's slot bubbles anymore, but wtf, what? You have an hour of jetlag? Forget the Indian casinos in washington, go to oregon, or go to nevada... you can't play online from home anyway. Not in the old way anyway.
If'n you wanna play you will. If you think it is all fixed, it is. You have a twenty five percent chance at Mike's in the airport. Save your money for the el cortez, where you might meet an icon. But stick to slots and roulette and you will be okay, you sinner you.
