They might build another Slot House on the riverfront...we'll never see walkable riverfront with condo's, hotels, townhouses, etc...no one will want to live next to a slot house.
Can you imagine a neon "SUGARHOUSE" sign next the Ben Franklin Bridge? My god, I cringe.
Most of my distaste comes from the lazy lingo regarding "tax revenue." Bring companies here, cut taxes, and create jobs. Slot revenue is a failed stop gap.

I don't want to start an anti-casino rant...I'm just concerned about our city. We're not a savvy bunch and my fear is that this endeavor will cripple the momentum we have going for us right now.
