Casino Royale



There are 989 casinos in the country - all shut down because of the "virus". Just as they were anticipating a bonanza season, they lost March Madness, The Masters and Kentucky Derby in one fell swoop. NYT writes that they are joining numerous other industries in asking for Federal Aid!! Yes, you heard right. So this means a billionaire mogul, Sheldon Adelson, a large Trump donor with casinos in Vegas and Macao (near Hong Kong) will be at the trough for Federal dollars - (read taxpayers dollars). Mon dieu! In the meanwhile, gamblers will have to do with a coin flip, red or black, or maybe three card monte on the sidewalk. So what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.
