I have been told He is Poker friendly so we might get a good poker room out of the deal.

Steamboatin; is this a riverboat or will it be landlocked?
The Shawnee are trying like hell to get a casino just
outside of Cincinnati. I hope they succeed with that
deal. Also Belterra may have a room by years end.

It will be a boat. I think they are going to dig a canal or pond.

The Hicks from French Lick are getting a casino?? Damn, how many casinos does the midwest have??

If the theme of the casino is not the Basketball Jesus I am going to be very upset.

Larry Bird didn't get the bid.

Almost as many as Florida Dog Tracks and that is just one state, not a region.

I didnt even know he was involved in trying to get the bid. I stand by the fact that the theme of any casino in French Lick should be Larry Bird regardless of who builds it.

They are building a moat (the boat in the moat...) for the sole purpose of not having a "land-based" casino. Gots to love that Hoosier logic. Also, Trumps original plan DID include a poker room. He was the only one of the three bidders to propose one.

And, to the fellow who called us midwesterners hicks... well, it takes hicks to mismanage our state finances to the extent that we need to build all these casinos. So, maybe if your region catches the hick bug, you can get casinos, too!
