there was from a study modeling the effect of their slot machines on the lottery. the study had the amount of slots as a variable, and the more slot machines they put in, the less the state makes overall. now i'm not a big fan of lotto, but it does bring in much-needed revenue.

i'm not seeing any up-side to "the grange" compared to the tribal casinos.
