Supporters of casinos and para-mutual betting say there’s momentum now to put the issue to Georgia voters.

They say more then $1 billion in lottery revenue will be put out for Hope and Pre-K programs.

'Profits have been good, percentages have been good but at the end of the day, it’s not keeping up with demand,” said Chip Lake, who is part of a coalition called the Committee to Preserve Hope Scholarships.

It includes big name gaming resorts, including MGM.

The casino bill would allow a half-dozen casinos across the state.



Wait... I thought the threat of Casinos was all a smoke screen by the Mayor? Nope.

So try to keep up here...


1) Actual casino companies say they want to build casionos downtown and by downtown they mean actually downtown where there are like people and hotels

2)Mayor says " Actual casino companies say they want to build casionos downtown and by downtown they mean actually downtown where there are like people and hotels" and oh yeah summerhill residents some um other casino companies that um...I cant remember their names right now ...are thinking of building at Turner Field...bye now

3) Summerhil residents



GSU we hate you less than casinos


So yeah, there will be no casinos on the Ted property.

Pure speculation and you've taken actual quotes and spun them to fit your feelings.

Plus, you are talking about MGM, its a casino AND hotel. Turner Field or Gulch make no difference really. They could build in the middle of the desert and... wait... oh yeah.

I get it, none of y'all want Turner Field on the radar at all.

Don't get me wrong, you will be the better owner for that spot, but you can't simply ignore the external interests that are bearing down on Atlanta.

Deep down we know you guys are hoping this doesn't happen

And saying the gulch next to GWCC and the Ted are the same is pretty laughable. Maybe look at a map.

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope you do.

I also hope the BoR makes it very easy for you. It would be in the best interest for all parties involved to make this happen as painlessly as possible.
