False Advertising?

MyOhioNow bases it economic projections on $800 million in annual casino receipts, conceding the fact they cannot keep all Ohio gamblers in Ohio. What if the MyOhioNow Casino only recaptures half those dollars or less? What happens to all the promises?

MyOhioNow knows it must create new, local Ohio gamblers to make their fiscal projections come true. They know they will need to capture a significant number of the addicted gamblers into their casino monopoly and create new gambling addicts to continue to fund the casino enterprise. That is the way the casino business works.

But why should Ohio gamblers living much closer to casinos in Michigan, Indiana, or Pennsylvania travel exclusively to Chester Township in Clinton County, Ohio to gamble? What makes anyone think they will only visit this single Ohio casino every time they choose to go out gambling?
