No, the gambling industry will continue to keep out any other competitor that could compete with casinos. Every dollar that someone spends on a state lottery is one less dollar in profit for a Nevada casino. As a result, when the issue of starting a state lottery comes up, gambling lobbyists lobby against the proposed state lottery, make claims that state lotteries are immoral, and release studies that show lotteries are played by lower economic level people who need the money for necessities.

In royal-flush crazy Las Vegas $500 and $1000 payoffs for a Pick 3 and Pick 4 game are not going to create much interest at all. People can just put oney into a vido poiker machine and go for those kind of payoffs and not have to wait for a nightly drawing.

A state lottery offering at least $2,000,000 as a start point would be different. There are some progressive slots that offer those kind of jackpots but they most always take multiple coins, for one thing.

The hotel/casinos in Nevada are already taxed so adding a lottery will have very little impact. The majority of the Ohio Lottery's profits go into its educational system and that only amounts to 4.5% of the money needed for funding.

I don't understand what you mean by eliminating the pick-3 and pick-4 because those games are generally the most popular and most profitable of all the online games. Nevada will probably have about the same games as the other states.

It may not be now, but i think Las Vegas will eventually get a lottery (if they want a healthy education system)...I just hope is the right one, specially pick3 pick4, they need to eliminate those, in las Vegas...And i dont know how they are going to do it because i think every state has pick3 or pick4....And if they dont have a pick3/4, people are going to be clamouring for it/them.....

Absolutely not. Remember, lotteries are all about making extra revenue for the state. THey are not about giving anything to the people, outside of a voluntary tax . Nevada has no need to rake in extra revenue, due to the huge amounts the casinos pay to the state in taxes. The state of Nevada would institute a state income tax on its citizens before it would go through the expense of running a lottery. If Nevada doesn't need to have a state income tax, it doesn't need to have a lottery. Their... [ More ]
