GUEST EDITORIAL Casino Gambling the Latest Odds by Sal Giarratani People, gamble all the time. The state continues to bank on it with the Massachusetts State Lottery which has been around 40 years now. I can remember back as a kid in Roxbury watching all those late evening buses carrying all those old ladies up to New Hampshire for bingo when it was banned here. Go into any convenience store, I think there’s over 50 different cards to choose from. Is gambling addictive? For some it is truly a sickness. However, people have been gambling forever. I bet cave men even gambled over something. Maybe on the fastest dinosaur, who knows? Casino gambling is coming but where? Foxboro and Bob Kraft want it. Suffolk Downs wants it. I live in Eastie, I can see a casino resort at the race track site. I also drive down Route 1 through Foxboro and I see all that land across from the stadium that Kraft owns. I can see a casino resort there too. Further down Route 1 is the Plain ridge Raceway. I think it would make a great slot parlor. Rhode Island has Twin Rivers minutes away from our state line. Connecticut has Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. New Hampshire is also talking about a casino at Rockingham Park up in Salem, NH too. Many of the Foxboro residents oppose a casino but Kraft has much clout. If he really wants it, it will be a bruis- ing battle to stop him. Suffolk Downs needs a casino too (Photos by Matt Conti, Northendwaterfront.com) in order to survive. How much clout does Suffolk Downs have? I don’t see a slot parlor at Logan Airport. There are so many lines to cross and dots to connect.
