Gambling casinos on TX + other states.Reply
First I have to admit I'm biased because I live right next door in Louisiana. When Texas didn't have a lottery, alot of Texans came across the border to Louisiana to buy tickets. Alot of Texans come across the border to gamble in our casinos. The most successfuly Louisiana casinos are the casinos located in Shreveport and Lake Charles, both very near the border.

The completely incorrect interpretation states that the new bill essentially outlaws most forms of Internet gambling. The new bill absolutely does no such thing.
