Re: Poker at Harrahs in Cherokee, NC?
North Carolina is a bunch of dopey prudes when it comes to these things, as I learned first-hand while living in Charlotte.
The state is basically broke when it comes to its highway budget, where they overspent and have drastically delayed plans, and now have backups damn near everywhere in the Charlotte area (and other cities) due to a lack of roads, and the morons refuse to install a state lottery, nevertheless help the casino which is a hole that I never went to.
The gas stations across the border in SC do big business, hell, there's even a "Lottery Store" off the Carowinds exit on 77 right after you cross the border. People in Raleigh/Durham make treks up to Virginia when the Mega Millions jackpot gets big.
It's a disaster there but the insist on sticking to "morals" and continue to insist that people will go broke and lead a life of misery if they brought the lotto in, which is hysterical in a state where a bunch of people in the boonies live in run down trailer parks.
