Re: article on canadian casinos
You obviously don't like to be proved wrong:
A professional gambler in Canada does not pay income taxes, hence his health care is free.
I am comparing the revenue of two nations, not the anomaly of a couple Indian tribes. You guys have 10 times more the population and opportunity due to less restrictive legislation, but can't even tie us in revenue per person. And it is to your advantage that Canadians and people around the world travel down to your famous casinos. Why can't you beat us in revenue per person? Our population is not 12 Indians.
Canadian Casinos also offer comps. You have to pay for alcohol (which one can consume at 19) but other drinks are free and American style comps are given. And our gamblers tend to be of equal crap compared to other places.
Taking all this into consideration you fail to mention how a professional gambler who earns his living playing in casinos can easily make up his 30% deficit in the US compared to Canada. If two poker players have equal talent, how can the one in America possibly make more money than the one playing in Canada if they play the same limit game?
Maybe you can find a third person arbitrator that we can both agree on to settle this question. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
