Just look at Monte Carlo, Monaco and Las Vegas. Also the wages in the gaming industry are much better than hospitality (tips too) and the skills required are more advanced. This could really be something great for Bermuda and give it the edge over the other islands

Until wages in hospitality is addressed, we will have the circular argument..

I predict a bump in bermudians participation,based on curiosity followed by a slow movement back to reality ..With cheaper labour fulfilling these roles..

Unless again we see a shift in wages..

There were no restrictions, no minimum payout percentages, and only a select few people were allowed to distribute and benefit from these machines.

The machines were placed in bars illegally and without any controls in place. There was one large house up on a hill “collecting” from these same machines. The police raided these places and removed these machines. The PLP rewarded these same lawbreakers by saying they could continue operating the machines for only 5 years but could not repair them. LOL, what a joke. At the same time those bars that did not wish to break the law, were penalized by this same ruling by being told no new machines could be imported.

And who says crime didn’t pay. Pay to Play! The PLP way!

I assume you are talking about the one involving Dr. Brown and his ride on Globalhue jet. Fior those of you that don’t know what I am talking about, Globalhue is the same company he awarded the Tourism advertising contract to. Actually, he did it twice – the second time without an RFP and without asking a single other company to submit ideas, proposal or a bid.

Heard all of that before. We missed the gaming boat before the 90s.

Give the clubs & bars permission for machines today & they will be up & running next week.

In the meantime it will be nothing but more talk, talk, talk.
