I've been following the casino push in Kentucky for years. They were incredibly short-sighted in not taking IRT's. Embarrassingly bad decision really. It's like they don't have a clue how the Commonwealth operates.
Once they're put in they're in. Now they're out. Dumb.

I was baffled at the time they didn't want it. Poplar Level is degenerate central. Would've done well.
