Well, the OP points out something interesting that you're not paying attention to, and that is the fact that Mississippi casino revenues have been dropping the past few years.
That is a direct result of fewer gambling $ coming in from Arkansas. Thats partly due to Oaklawn/Southland, and having a lottery.
Its pretty simple. The casinos in other states are clustered next to the Arkansas border for a reason. You can either accept that Arkansans are gambling in other states and leaving their $ there, or you can ignore it. As it stands, we are seeing our money leave the state. We can let it, or we can try to keep more of it here.
