assuming that the barge is completely destroyed, i would think it is a high probability that the new poker room will be even bigger & better after they rebuild. the rebuild will be as quick as possible i am sure. this loss of revenue will devistate MS. i have heard the loss of revenue at 500k per day just for the taxes.

i wish the missing and hurt people the very best. i wish the state a speedy rebuild.

I wonder if when they start to rebuild the casinos the state would consider changing the legislation about having them built on barges. Even to someone uneducated on the matter it does not make sense to build casinos on barges that should survive hurricanes. Obviously I know not all hurricanes are this big, but you have to plan ahead just in case.

They just showed the "C[o]pa"? Casino on CNN and supposedly it moved a half mile.
