It is all about getting people in the door, and getting their money thru one of the games. As I and others indicated NH operated Casino's would generate massive amounts of revenue for the state. We could fund all of NH education with two strategically placed Casino's.
Don't count on it! The only ones who seem to make money are the casino owners and certain public officials. The money does not seems to get to where it is intended.
