A million dollars a day?
Nov. 16th, 2005 02:16 pmWell, technically, $12.5 million over 11 days. That's the "handle" for the 475 slot machines now installed in the former Miller's Restaurant (hiss boo) for our shiny new racino.
Granted, some of that represents money bet twice or more, with the one-armed bandit addicts plowing their jackpots back into play, but still. Hell of a lot of disposable income for a hick town in the impoverished back woods....
22,000 patrons, probably also multi-counted as they went out for smoke breaks and came back in.
Wonder how I can arm-twist some of them into buying books instead? Or buying renovation prospects in the local historic district?
