I'm under the impression that it's not a Vegas style casino at all. The slots are all class II.

I don't know the whole process with getting the permit, but I don't think the state will be too pleased with that.

There is a big unfounded stereotype that Texans are live and let live, rugged individualist, free-marketers when in reality nothing could be further from the truth. Most Texans are hardcore bible-thumpers who want to regulate every aspect of your life. Marijuana will never be legal here, you can't buy liquor on Sundays, casino gambling is illegal, etc. Texas is one of the biggest police-states in the country. If you want true rugged individualism and liberty go to New Hampshire.

Meanwhile the bus from Houston carts off dozens of people for 10 bucks a head to Lake Charles weekly if not more. You cant even drive there and back that cheaply.
