Now I know why they don't payoff.

By the time I hit the airport for the return home, the last thing I want to do is play a slot machine. Seems like there are some campaign contributions involved also.

Just recently there was a meeting with new laws going into effect. No new slots will be allowed in motels, restaurants or stores without open drinking, etc., etc., etc.

And here they are allowing more slots at the airport.

Guess they just don't like any competition even from the little people.

Gail,
Isn't that the way it always seems to go? After they get in the door, they want to shut it, so not to let anyone else in!
It's funny, on one of our recent cab rides in LV, I was informed about how I shouldn't be playing in the casino's, I should be playing at the mini markets, and other shops.

Gail,

I'm not sure I understand your post. You said no more new slots can be put in unless there's open drinking? Does this mean they don't want anyone to be gambling if they're sober?????

Spread of slots restricted
The Gaming Commission limits which businesses can have restricted licenses, the panel's first such rule ever.
By Ed Vogel

Ending two years of debate, the Nevada Gaming Commission voted 3-2 Thursday to restrict the types of noncasino businesses that may have slot machines.
Under the new regulations, convenience stores, restaurants that serve liquor by the glass, drugstores, groceries, bars and taverns can qualify for restricted gaming, or slot machine licenses. Their owners still must be found acceptable by gaming regulators before the businesses are licensed.
But the regulations -- effective Feb. 1-- prohibit slot machines in new liquor stores, gas stations, restaurants that do not serve liquor, coin-operated laundries, car dealerships, motels, car washes, fast-food restaurants and sandwich shops.
