Less Milk from the Casino Cash Cow? Toledo Casino Set to Open.
It is scary to imagine the state of City of Detroit finances if the casino revenue did not exist. Soon the city's lucrative oligopoly if not challenged will certainly be nibbled-away as casinos in Toledo and Cleveland nibble from the south and a proposed one in Lansing from the north.
Estimate are now say it will be only a 3% hit, but I could be very happy with 3% of $1.4 billion.
One advantage the Detroit casinos will have [although I find it despicable] is that the Toledo casino will be smoke-free.
Nonetheless this portends a long-term threat to financial stability. Should a suburban community succeed in opening one all bets are off.
