Betcha they didn’t do this at Aria when the first decent-sized jackpot was hit. The gentleman on the right is Carlos Quintano, from Great Bend, Kan. Only 15 minutes after the doors of Boot Hill Casino & Resort* flew open, Mr. Quintano had a $1,600 pull on a Double Diamond Strike jackpot and the rest was history. That’s Boot Hill CEO Clark D. Stewart on your left. Our Aria coverage may be somewhat lacking but S&G is all over this Boot Hill stuff like a cheap suit!
* — truth be told, it’s pretty much just “Casino” now, with the “Resort” part a good ways down the road. Maybe the signage should read: Boot Hill Casino [& Resort].
You asked, we answer. The state with the second-most non-tribal casinos is … drum roll … Colorado, whose 35 private-sector casinos just barely nudge South Dakota‘s 34 into third place. The state with the fewest is Texas, with one tribal gambling hall (unless you states that are totally casino-less). It’s not just the Lone Star State, it’s the Lone Casino State, too.
The Lowden Chronicles: For a casino executive, Sue Lowden makes a natural politician. Unfortunately, Jon Ralston used the “being for things before being against them” quip before I could deploy it.
Good job on the city with the 2nd most non-tribal casinos. Gotta keep you on your toes!!!!!!! I’d still be looking for the answer!!!!!
