No Water Required
The only upside to the Iowa Senate's vote to end the must-be-on-water rule for casinos: it helps fight global warming by reducing the driving distance for compulsive gamblers. Bring Touch Play back to every corner Casey's and the carbon footprint gets even smaller!
To restate a long-time Deeth talking point: the gambling economy is finite. Only so many Iowans will spend only so many dollars on gambling, and a certain number - like me - wouldn't cross the street to play slots. (And, let's face it, we're not a tourist destination for anyone except presidential candidates.) Building more casinos doesn't make the pie higher. It just makes the slices thinner and thinner till we hit the point of market over-saturation. We're probably at that point already and at some time the whole house of cards collapses.
The worst.
