IT'S WRONG for any one person or company to get rights to gambling. Anyone with the moola to buy the RIGHT should be able to have whatever is approved.

I don't care who runs it. I think it will pull in some good money for the state. Bring on the Blackjack.

I am aware of horse and dog racing in AR. Don't understand people that enjoy that kind of thing though. Rather sit around and play cards. And I realize the monopoly they have; doesn't hurt to pay off politicians, now does it! I'm still against one person having control over casino's in AR; but still voting for it.

Hawk; I don't have a problem with people gambling or casino's. My problem is with one person or enterprise having complete control over gambling in AR. I love gambling as a matter of fact. I learned how to play poker before I could read. The only person I've never beat at pool was my dad. I made some good dough from my fellow Letter Carriers in Tucson 2 years in a row when the Yanks beat the Dodgers. Made a bunch of dough when the Raiders whipped Philly down New Orleans way. But one person having all the rights; that's just wrong, and smells of payola to me. I'm still voting for it though if it makes it to the ballot; even though I wouldn't go in one if it was right next door.
