Exactly. We have our illustrious gov to thank for this mess. He of the 2016 presidential aspirations. The state invested $263 million to finish building the Revel( in exchange for 20% of the revenues), screwed the horsemen out of any purse supplements and refused to put casinos anywhere else in the state. Any idiot could see that, with surrounding states now having casinos, AC needed another casino like another hole in the head. If I’m a resident of Philadelphia, why would I have to drive 2 hours to play a game of blackjack?
Why not was put a casino in Camden, Monmouth and the Meadowlands? You know, like, where the people are. Idiot.
