		<description>How about those Seminoles;  They want a constitutionally protected monopoly.  I hope the voters don&#039;t fall for it</description>

		<description>The Casinos most certainly do compete with discretionary entertainment dollars.  A family many choose only a couple of days in a Disney resort, and spend four days at the beach.   The adults rather than pouring their resources into Disney properties, enjoy the beach, restaurants, and yes a casino which many people love to visit at least once during a vacation, and yes those dollars spent in a casino will not be spent in a disney property.</description>

		<description>The casinos don&#039;t compete with theme parks. Money spent there is in addition to what is spent at the resorts. Disney is buying a slice of the pie that they otherwise might not be able to enjoy. Believe me, if the Disney/ABC/Muppet consortium could have a casino on the park lands somewhere legally, they&#039;d be all over it. They are most definitely all about the $$$.</description>

		<description>@ anne 1of2

I get why the Seminoles don&#039;t want competition with their casinos and other gambling enterprises. They pretty much have a closed shop market on gambling in Florida, other than the religious bingo halls, lottery, poker rooms, race tracks, dog races, and the submarine races.

What is the interest of Disney Worldwide Services though? Are they concerned that gambling would cut into the immense profits they make from the theme parks? Theirs is about the most greedy, money oriented, cutthroat operation going which appears to be for fun and family.  But then there are those who remember how Disney acquired the land near Orlando and that wasn&#039;t so nice. 

Personally, would prefer no gambling or &quot;gaming&quot; but it happens on everything from fishing contests to and this may be hard to believe, some even bet on college football games.</description>
