I recall a fellow telling me that most people win in a casino; as I recall he had to borrow rent money after that experiment.  

I don't go to casinos to gamble. 

@Jeffrey Gordon  land assemblages with multiple mom and pop's can be a tough one.I own 4 acres across from the largest casino in N.

Lots of good potential and with the casino coming in due time I believe that area will be booming.

Does anyone have any experience with a casino being built in their area and the effects that it had on your community after, both positive and negative?

i want to do what has the best success rate . the stock market just scares me . i feel like im outside a casino watching someone else gamble with money and i have know control . that money didn't come easy . if i could get it out with out the huge penalties i would have done so years ago .

Hey @Ricardo Murph II,So, Ill lead off by saying that I've been a self employed tile professional for about 10 years now and I've done everything from the backsplash for the little old lady next door here in Massachusetts to our current project renovating 1150 bathrooms for one of the casino resorts in Connecticut and your question is one I get quite frequently.  

So we got what we needed and left....I also lost some money in the casino :( while Jeremiah came out ahead :) Guess as a company we evened out haha.

I could tell they casino personnel were irritated, and saw that they quickly put an "out of order" tag on the machine.How did you get 12 years?

Hey Bigger Pockets,Many of us in the capital district are aware of the new casino being built in Schenectady, New York.
