Smoking in casinos
I don’t know why people are concerned about smoking in Kansas City casinos. After the Kansas casinos open, the Missouri ones will close.

The Kansas casinos will open then close shortly after. Everyone is indigent and broke according to the media and the buzz on the street. You figure the average commuter spend $100 a week on gas while only netting $400 a week. (Figure an avg 15 mpg at 25 gal per week for 375 commuter miles). What that comes out to is 37.5 miles each way to work, of which I doubt many people drive that far.
Plus like Mama Obama and Master McCain said, women (and only women) are struggling sooo bad to put their child(ren) through collge to pay the mortgage, new car payment, payments on multiple credit cards that are used for essentials and their foodstamps just aren't enough.
So this being the case, the casinos will have very little traffic except for the rich Republicans many of whom despise gambling, drinking, porking the wife or having any fun whatsoever. The poor Democrats will all be stuck at home watching black and white television, drinking generic brand grape drink and eating off brand Ramen.
Now let's say gas were to drop to $1 a gallon and taxes of some form retain the equivalent revenue, then no one would complain. Makes no sense why people complain about something THEY consume yet have money to gamble. I know someone that actually took cash off her foodstamp card and got a $200 tattoo then moaned about having 2 kids by 2 different men and how it was HIS fault she is in the position she is.
She's pregnant again by some young stud who has no job. He is the deabeat and she is the start mom. Pathetic. OK. I am ready to take my lashings from you morons.....

the $500 loss limit in the MO casinos will surely hurt the MO casinos a lot more after the Kansas ones open with no loss limit.
How big of an effect will that have? unknown. But the KS casinos wont get any flow of traffic from Truman Sports Complex/downtown, but will get everyone from the race track and the "high rollers"

I agree with NMMNG. The Missouri casinos will definitely be affected by the loss of "Kansas traffic", but there is no reason to think that they will close.

What an ignorant assesment. How do you figure the Missouri casinos will close?
