Will table games save Pennsylvania’s economy?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good news: the Rivers Casino is doing horribly! 

Rivers was projected to make $7 million a week off gamblers; instead it’s ranking 7th of Pennsylvania’s 9 casinos at under $4 million a week. Help the Rivers Casino toward an early demise by telling all your friends to steer clear of this predatory, greedy operation.  See No Dice’s media release taking (a little bit of) the credit for Rivers’s struggles.

Winners Avoid Casinos campaign kickoff 

No Dice held a media conference on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 to launch its “Winners Avoid Casinos” campaign. 

The media conference took place at the intersection of Allegheny and Ridge on the North Shore, near the West End bridge and within sight of the construction activity at the proposed Majestic Star casino site. 

No Dice displayed its initial “Winners Avoid Casinos” merchandise and described the presentation, “The Two-Armed Bandit: Gambling in 21st-Century America,” that it plans to offer throughout the Pittsburgh area.  Several speakers discussed their personal experience of gambling addiction and the impact they expect a casino to have in Pittsburgh. 

In the photo at right, Charlotte Sonne of Mt. Lebanon, board member of No Dice, talks with David Bugher, executive director of Light of Life Mission, during the media conference. No Dice announced it will be distributing bumper stickers and static-cling window decals declaring "Winners Avoid Casinos."
