I agree. Think of how many NH residents travel to CT to gamble. Some even weekly. We would attract residents from NH, Maine, Vermont, and some from Mass as well as seasonal tourists. How many people visit North Conway in the fall and winter? How many visit the seacoast in the summer?
Put it in the middle of nowhere and businesses will pop up around it to support. Hell with it, let it take some of the burden off the state funding. People are still going to gamble whether they do it here or in CT.
