Myriad Casino approved in Tunica

[Tim Brice]

The Myriad Casino was approved last night and construction will begin sometime this year. I am still not sure where it is going in at, but nearly $1 billion will be invested into it. Here is a link:

A Canadian "mega economic force" in Tunica County. Why not? You already have (America's largest gaming company) Harrah's in Tunica, making their stockholders rich, using a labor force which consists of dealers who are compensated (paid) partly by "tokes", thus relieving the company of having to PAY their employees.

Myriad is undoubtedly going to use the new I-69 as a route for CANADIAN trucking companies and CANADIAN suppliers for operation of the joint.

I have seen the newer "modest" rental housing "projects" erected for the slaves who now work at Harrah's etc. The newer mansions and gated communities for Myriad owners and bosses will come later, with names like "Myriad "Plantation" Resort Homes".

Are you serious Magoo? First, what else is anyone going to do in Tunica, if it wasn't for those casino's no one would be there, and second, if you don't want to work there, play there, live in the housing provided, then don't.

Are all people who get paid on tips "slaves"? I didn't know waitresses and bartenders were sold into slavery. I don't get it. And only Harrah's dealers work for tips? You sound silly and shortsighted. Maybe you can go start your own socialistic society somewhere and everyone will be treated fairly!!!

Don't you have something to do SOMEPLACE else?

"if it wasn't for those casino's no one would be there"
You mean no BUSINESSES would be there. Excellent idea. The land is beautiful and sacred. God made it beautiful for people to live on it and grow food, look at the stars.

"And only Harrah's dealers work for tips?"
The public should not have to supplement the salaries of employees working for mega corporations. Are you going to toke the teller, on your next visit to a Chase bank?

You crack me up......I can't believe we have to supplement the salaries of the waitress at Friday's either.....Those arrogant corporate bastards!!!

All dealers in every Casino in the world work for tips, just like most service industries. If you don't like it, then don't go to them. No one is making you play at a casino, or tip a dealer. Play online where you don't have to tip anyone and you can be cheap.

And Tunica is anything but beautiful, and I didn't see any farmers anywhere. I am assuming you meant to say "Sacred"? Has anyone who has ever been to Tunica described it as Sacred? I must have missed something?

You are so upset, you answered before I re-read and edited my post. Slow down. You must be a Canadian. But, I stand by what I said, the land is sacred...s-a-c-r-e-d, whether you see it that way or not.

Have you ever been to the town of Tunica? Its past the casinos. There is actually a town by that name you know? Typical small town America...

And you won't see any farmers this time of year [censored], it's in the middle of winter.
