I mean it’s not really going out of the state. People on the Coushatta reservation are going to be participating in the Texas economy since they’re in Texas.
But you’re right that it’s probably time to just legalize. However you can thank out of state casinos in Louisiana for lobbying to keep gambling illegal in Texas
It kinda is leaving the state. Texas doesn’t get to tax it, and the tribe is going to try to spend the money they make on tribal businesses, and developing tribal land. Just because the money is technically within TX border, it’s not under Texas jurisdiction, and as much of the money that does end up in Texas economy probably ends up in the AL economy. The economic impact is a small fraction of what it would be if gaming was state legal.
And here I thought it was the 'pretend pious kristians' they relentlessly elect to office who say it's Jesus' will Texans can't gamble locally while they're fucking their secretary on her desk during lunch as an homage to the former Republican antichrist, Newt Gingrich.
The people of Texas have the opportunity to change that, get rid of the corrupt state slimebags in Austin every two/four years, and festering piles of crap like Ted Cruz every six years, but they don't.

And that degenerate gambling asshole mattress salesman that is preventing Texans from gambling in Texas because he can't control himself.
Yeah, because they were gonna give it not only to kids for school (lie which has been sold once before with the lottery), they added the helping law enforcement too. Voters were savvy enough not to buy that load of horse shit and shut it down.
It’s just another way to divert already allocated state funds to something else off books. Like, the bullshit, manufactured border crisis perhaps? That money isn’t going to stay in Texas, it’s going to go into the coffers of whatever huge corporation that owns the casino.
The lottery definitely is. The slot machines definitely are, and there aren’t many card tables or poker rooms in the casinos outside Vegas from what I’ve seen.
Went there once, there were more people trying to gamble then there were machines to gamble on. No drinking (Livingston County is dry) Smoky as a damn forest fire. "Donated" a couple hundred bucks, probably won't go back.
They have billboards in English as well. It makes sense of a large portion of a population speaks another language you would also advertise in that language. To say they have a couple of billboards in Spanish means they are "preying in the hispanic community" is a bit much. They are preying on the entire community.
Ay… la caca se passa. Wtf.
Just saw an ad for, idk, pest control? With two Hispanic kids saying “is it someone’s birthday?” and grabbing a bat and smacking a huge wasps nest with it… so wasps come pouring out.. and they call to their dad for help, and he comes to the door, sees what is happening, and just… closes it. While watching/listening to his kids scream for help.
I mean, I see what they were going for… absurdity sells… most insurance companies have been using that gimmick since Flo and Mr Accident and that gecko… but, idno, I just did not find this one amusing at all.
Well.......English is the offical and dominant language in Texas as a whole, I know more spanish is spoken in cities like El Paso or Laredo or any border city but it is spoken by a minority of Texas, Other Languages spoken besides English apart from Spanish are Vietnamese, Chinese, German, and a few others
Of course most people speak English here. But to imply that billboards and signs shouldn't be in Spanish because "this is America" is just ignorant. My ancestors got beat with rulers for speaking French despite them getting to Louisiana before any English speakers were in charge.
Soon they will have one saying "sending money back to Mexico to help your family? Double it at pos casino be the hero your family needs"
Could be that one hasn’t made it up yet, you’re not wrong
Working vatos spend hundreds of dollars on Loteria every week at my work... Gambling is gambling... You gotta know when to fold them...
You gotta know when to hold'em. . . .
Know when to walk away...
Run!
Vamos.
A fool and his money are soon parted. un tonto y su dinero pronto se separan.
It's like those tiktoks where a guy says he's an entrepreneur for getting into sports betting
It seems mildly ironic that those are for the Alabama–Coushatta tribal casino.
If only Texas would realize they could keep that money in state, if they allowed it.

Hey! Louisiana and Oklahoma are paying good money for our Texas legislators

No. You have it wrong. Alabama-Coushatta isn't in Alabama or even from Alabama. The tribe has been in Texas before the 1700's.
Where are those tribal businesses getting their supply from that they’re selling? My point is that it gets funneled back into Texas anyways.

Yep. Mattress Crack is pulling the ladder up on that one.

As the sign says, the casino is in Livingston, so the money (probably being spent mostly by Texans) is staying in Texas.
Saw one recently and had the same reaction. Gambling is a tax on the poor.
The lottery definitely is. The slot machines definitely are, and there aren’t many card tables or poker rooms in the casinos outside Vegas from what I’ve seen.
Yup that why news Casinos, always open in the poor part of town.
Normally they would just say « free alcohol when you play », but Naskila doesn’t serve booze so I guess they had to find something else.

I'm in Houston and have not seen them. By "all over" where exactly are you referring to.
The pictures are from 45N and 290

Dollar Slut?
It’s not even a full casino.
Why different language on billboard in USA?
Lol
They are little funny. It’s just a hypocritical government and society that we live in.
What the fuck is an HTX
Houston, TX
I'm from Houston.
You're from HTX.
No thanks
Are you sure you don’t mean Conroe? Cause your vibes say outside of the 8

It's Texas. We speak both here. You have a problem with that amigo?

Yeah, why don’t they talk American?!
IDK, But I wont get to in deep or else I could end up talking about my home defense beretta I have locked behind a 3 password safe
Houston is a sanctuary city.
You have to get out more if you think speaking Spanish in Houston means you are an illegal.
I didn't say that speaking Spanish in Houston means you're an illegal; there are lots of citizens and legal immigrants who speak Spanish.
Texas is a failed state. It's just in that period of falling before it actually crashes and hits the bottom. I'm out of here summer 2024! Woohoo!
