Penn National
Uses Hypocritical Words To Oppose Ohio Casino - From MyOhioNow
Penn National is not making any
friends as they continue to build their casino empire in the United States.
Recently, they reneged on a deal that was in place to operate a state owned
casino in Kansas.
Then, they have come out
against a constitutional amendment that is on the ballot in Ohio. The amendment
would allow for a casino in Clinton County. The reason for their opposition is
quite funny.
They claim that a casino in
Clinton County would create a "monopoly" for the new casino in the state of
Ohio, i.e. They used the word "monopoly" in their opposition to the new casino.
One Issue 6 reporter hit the nail right on the head when commenting on Penn
National's stance.
"Penn National and Argosy
Casino are simply looking out for their business interests at the expense of the
Ohio taxpayers. They should know the word monopoly, because they are one.
They've been monopolizing the Cincinnati market for almost twelve years," said
Rick Lertzman of MyOhioNow.com.
Lertzman raises an interesting
point. Penn National pulled out of their deal in Kansas because they would not
be able to monopolize the casino market in there. Their main reason for going
back on their deal was that the site for the new casino would have been too
close to a neighboring tribal casino.
The fact that Penn National
would have had competition and would not have been able to monopolize the area
was a poor excuse for getting out of the casino project.
The other reason they pulled
out of the Cherokee deal was that they were denied a contract they bid on in one
of the other three counties that are receiving a new casino in Kansas. Had they
been given that bid, they would have controlled two of the four casinos in the
state of Kansas. That sounds a lot like a monopoly.

A poll of the US Newspaper
USA Today, has shown that an overwhelming majority of
the American citizens disagree with the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
The Unlawful Internet
Gambling Enforcement Act has been a topic of discussion
for a long time since its introduction in 2006. Recently
the US and the European Union made a deal on
compensating for missed business opportunities for
European online casino operators.
A stunning 97% of the
respondents answered a frank 'yes' when they were asked
whether or not it is time to regulate online gambling.
The poll in the newspaper came together with an article
on Jim Mcdermott, a Congressman who wants to legalize,
regulate and tax online gambling.
Experts on this matter
warn that the votes should not be interpreted as if the
yes-voters support legalization, but rather that they
agree with regulation, because online casinos in general
are widely accepted as a business practice in the United
States.
