True, the horse racing industry is hurting, which is why they want slots to increase revenues. But horse racing does not want 'Vegas-style' casinos - those would kill of the race tracks for good. As for the lottery, people blow millions on that nonsense every week; I would hardly say that 'nobody' is spending money on it.
Personally, I am not thrilled with the idea of casinos coming to DFW. I lived in LV about 10 years ago and found that I couldn't control my gambling. The casinos are designed to separate you from your money – they are very good at it. The day I gambled away my truck payment was the day I decided to come back to Texas.
