[Mr. V]

It was suggested in another thread that the subject of casinos should be discussed separately.

When I posted that there are no casinos at or near the Weirs, it was noted that there is a Lakes Region Casino, located in Belmont.

I've been to it over the years, as recently as last summer.

Last August it was a ghost town: no table games, no working slots: just poker IIRC.

The slots I saw there some years back were weird, and not the ones I usually see in the "real" casinos I play at, e.g. no IGT games etc.

Some years ago there was BJ and craps but not last summer, and when they did have craps the payoffs differed from and were substantially less than in a "real" casino.

Many of us enjoy gambling; sure, some become addicted but hey, "Live free or die," right?
