When you were a kid growing up in your home city, did not you just love it when the circus came to town?
It began with the posters:
They Would be tacked up on telephone poles and trees for miles in a geographical area that encompassed the circus grounds. They would be put up in windows of dozens of companies -- the neighborhood drug store, restaurants, the bowling alley.
Then would come the parade:
It Taking up the rear would be laborers with shovels to scoop the doodad left by the animals.
Gambling casinos are like circuses in many ways:
They've attractions (slot machines, wheels, board games plus a poker area ).
They Have clowns (traders in starched shirts, string ties and garters). And they've money bonuses to entice customers on certain dates at certain times.
I am awaiting the Coronavirus epidemic to evaporate so the casinos can re-open.
There Is no question that the casino advertising people are getting ready to re-open the casinos. They are just waiting for President Trump and the governors of the several states like Nevada, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona and New Mexico to raise the ban and allow the public to once more congregate in public areas.
People were born to mingle. They were born to collect together and rub shoulders, shake hands, embrace, drink, bet and even occasionally struggle. It's all part of the human state. It's all part of being alive.
I understand my brother Legs is waiting for Your Meadows to re-open. He asserts the closing doesn't bother himbut I understand it does. Every few days he reminds me of how much time it has been since we had been at the match. It is maddening, but this really is my brother.
My personal hope is that the casinos will create more games of skill and function fewer where pure luck is the element that determines winners and losers.
Would not It be something if we can enter a casino at which we had a real opportunity to win? Staggering thought, isn't it? But this is my expectation.
If Benny Binion, the creator of Binion's Horseshoe and that the World Collection of Poker, Was still living, I can just guess at exactly what he'd come up with. I understand whatever he offered to the public would surpass the generosity of the competition. And Johnny Moss will be smiling from all cloud God or the guy from the other place prepared for him to break on during eternity.
The Let's just Expect at least a few of the promises turn out to be actual.
