Choctaw opens new venture

The word "Venture" is not a correct description of this casino. Venture means there is some sort of risk involved. There is no risk ! These people are going to TAKE your money wether it's in a small OR lage building. Lets ask a few questions (1) Do they purchase any supplies from a local small business?(2) Do they put money back inot our community ? the answer is NO, they but from large corporations and their money goes to Oklahoma.....WHY do we care about them....they only want your Money. Can you consume alcohol in the casinos ? No so even expect it....Sorry but a bigger casino just means they can handle MORE people; it isnt going to change a thing in Paris. Can we please THINK about Paris, not Indians wanting to take your money.

Your post is really one of the most pointless and ignorant I have seen. The casino wasn't put there to benefit "our community" and believe it or not, there are other places than Paris, Tx. I'm sure it benefits their local community in that some of the money they pay out to the tribe members is spent locally and the place employs a bunch of people. What exactly is your bitch with them? Did you lose your grocery money and want to blame the Indians?

If the money helps the local community, I'd sure hate to see Hugo without that money! They get about as many city improvements as we will get from the selling of beer here.

Of course that's why they built a bigger one, to accomodate more people. But they also are providing much needed jobs and some of those may be people from Paris. It's a story about the new casino where lots of people from Paris go for entertainment. Calm down.

Actually, I know of several people who drive over from Lamar County to WORK in the Casino. What the Choctaws do is OK by me.

I would simply suggest that you not go there and don't worry about what is going on in Grant, OK. I don't think it was ever represented to help our local economy, so quit worrying about how some people choose to spend their time and money. I'm personally glad it's here for my gaming pleasure.

And by the way.FYI. They Do buy some supplies from one of Paris' office supply companies.

Calm down

I wasn't the person that used the word "venture".

I'm just saying, they give back to the Indians,(which is fine) but to not Hugo or Paris, thats exactly the point. There is NO Venture. BTW, I've been there, had fun, and yes I saw several, several, people loose money they should have been spending on food & clothing, you know...children!

You want to loose money - go for it- there's suckers born everyday.

Then don't go!! Don't worry about what they name it. what does it matter what the name is. How do you know they don't contribute to hugo or grant or those other towns. It contributes to the choctaw indian tribes.

Jiffiner,

Thanks for making my point !

& Been there,

You too, Thanks for making my point, out of hundreds of small businesses in Hugo & Paris, only 1 is mentioned!

I can rest my case.

So that makes you a sucker too. It sounds to me like you have a grudge against them because you have lost probably a LOT of money.

They do employ people from Paris, and yes those people spend part of their check here so yes we are benefiting from it also. Nobody makes you spend your money there.

For every employee they hire, I BET there are 5 people broke, so dont give me that crap about employees spending their money here.

BTW Really...
you say my post is the most pointless and igorant.......I'm thinking you have acheived nothing in life and your very comfortable with having nothing...Your thinking; IS thats wrong with businesses' today, people like you, I bet you spend your little paycheck at walmart......

So, go back to your pointless job and be happy, I didnt start this post with calling someone ignorant...Your the one that took that position.

I got took for 53.00 by two cibils and two injuns

Hope they used lubricant!

How come white folks can't have casinos? Are we paying them redskins back for moving in on them back in the 1400s?

Hmm you are pretty ignorant, the Indians suffered worse than any other ethnicity in America. They give that money out to the Indians of the tribe. Come on the Indians are the poorest group of people in America, and that money is used to house them clothe them and feed them. You can just think of it as a donation, and I've seen and heard of many people winning out there. You must have lost your vacation money to have such beef with someone that gives you a chance to win more money.

You are such a fake! What's your deal and why are you pissed off at the world? In reality you are probably the one WORKING at walmart and losing your check at the casino.

I didn't call you ignorant, I said your post was ignorant. However, after seeing more of your posts, I do actually believe you to be ignorant. Otherwise, you're the best ghost writer for an ignorant person I've ever read.

I don't have a pointless job, I haven't been to WalMart in months, you would be absolutely surprised to know what I have achieved in life, and yes, I do go to the casino occasionally and I am not broke. You got anything else you want to show your ignorance over?
