“Iowa and Illinois are two sides of the same coin; both states have had gaming for over 20 years. The casino industry in each is mature and probably saturated; the gaming industry in each state has suffered any time new casinos appear along its borders. And each has considered expanding gaming numerous times. For whatever reason, cooler heads seem to prevail in Iowa. They consider the evidence and the current state of the gaming industry in Iowa and move to protect the existing industry rather than allow any further expansion.” — Ken Adams, on the free market and casino expansion in the Midwest.

The state of affairs in Illinois gaming (along with their politicians) has been a joke for 20 years. Congrats!
