I can't wait to play poker in PA as it would be a lot closer to me than Atlantic City.

Lots of people, men and women like to play cards and it's fun playing cards with different people in a "controlled" atmosphere versus a private home that is not monitored and not legal.

It's a lot more fun playing against other people versus the House.

Let the Bad Beat Jackpots begin!!!

You should go back to playing Canasta or Yatzee Dee, it sound s like your going to get your butt hammered just by coming on here. Only a few ever win in Casino's .

Stick to your dining room poker games with your friends, you won't lose as much?

They are trying to buy the state legislature again like they did to get the original bill passed. Look at the present gambling board - with teh DeNaples scandal, etc. do you trust them to take on anything more?

Clean up the present mess, then we will see what is really good for the state.

If PA puts in table games with a decent tax rate, the casinos are more likely to build in better amenities such as a variety of nice restaurants and a more luxorious decor. Also table gamers like to stay overnight and will come back more often.

No to casino expansions. No to table games. This is my vote for Jennifer Mann. No to DeNaples keeping his casino, forced sale by AG/PA Gaming Board.

Plenty of gambling in AC and LV and every Indian casino across US, plus plenty of gambling across the world.

Is this really necessary, in the name of economic development?

It is just a transfer of existing recreational spending into another form, where few select firms benefit, rather than the whole society.

Would it not be better to direct our legislative efforts to have a collegiate education system that is as good as the University of California Regents?

I've won many times down Atlantic City over the years. You have to play the high roller one armed bandits, the $5,$10 machines. Forget about the 5 cent or quarter machines. 2 weeks ago I turned $20 into $100 up at the Newport Grand in RI. It can be done, you just have to play it right.
