Problems with Louisiana: They’ve got gambling in Louisiana, but they are not going to bring gambling to Texas. It would mess with Louisiana. We put this to the state, and they always deny it.

What is your opinion on gambling the state of Texas?

Neutral ground: I don’t personally gamble. It doesn’t really affect me if it is legal, so I wouldn’t have a problem with it being legalized. I wouldn’t be lucky enough to win so I wouldn’t risk the money or the time. I could be doing something productive. I could see people’s habits with it. If you win, you want more right?

Reinvent the island: Gambling in the state of Texas needs to come back to reinvent the island. It has its perks but [Texans will] have to go through a lot of things to get it legalized.

May bring problems: I enjoy gambling but it might bring a criminal element to the area. So, like anything, it’s got it’s good points and bad points.

Good or bad: I know that a lot of people wish it would be here. It might bring some problems with it though. For the economy, it might be a postive thing!
