Ill. truck stops could add gambling

We have a ton of closed malls with ample parking that could be made into casinos with hotels, restaurants, stores. With all these states hurting for money, they should think about using them instead of letting them sit empty!

 

that will be good for safety, drivers spending their 10hr breaks in the casino and then drive on little or no sleep.

Machines, hell. Give us proper poker tables.

 

like but i dislike. but its nice too turn as 20 into 300 from a good slot mahine.

 

I agree put poker tables in the truck stops-as far as drivers taking their ten in the casinos its called self responsibility.Why should everyone else not have the option we have in nevada because a few cant say its time to quit.

 

Oh yeah! I would love to have poker tables in the truck stops. Easy money for me.
Even though I lost $400 at Black Hawk Monday, I am still up nearly $2000 on the month just from stopping and playing hold-em along the way. Last night took $660 from the poker room at Harah's in Metropolis, Ill. I actually make more money stopping a few times a month and playing poker than I do driving. We need Casino's in Ohio already!!

But dirtyoldman is right, I would probably never get any in Illinois. LMAO

 

Boy I can't think of any better way to promote safe truck driving than to put casinos into truckstops that MUST sell alcohol to qualify! Where are all those anti-trucker groups on this issue?

 

They're drunk at the blackjack table...

 

I live in the capital city area, and this is the first I have heard about this.
