Columbus coasternut Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Just A Thought Of What Might Happen If Ohio Legalized Casino's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I don`t think that PKI would install a casino as they only apply to the 21+ crowd. PKI, especially of late, has been going for the families, which aren`t exactlythe people that will flock to casinos. Secondly, I don`t think Ohio will legalize casinos anytime soon.

BoddaH1994 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Wouldn't doubt seeing one near PKI but not in PKI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryler87 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Putting a Casino in PKI would be like parking your car on top of your garage. I don't think it would work well. Who knows? It could not work at all. I just don't think a casino would fit well at a family movie park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I just can't think of anything witty to say... just sounds like a bad mix to me. We already have over crowding in the parking lot on busy days. A busy plus a busy casino.... Holy Good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraderJake Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 For some strange reason I just don't think that a casino would help its appearance as a family park. I don't know... might just be some of the aspects of gambling that accompany gambling and casinos. I doubt Ohio will be legalizing gambling anytime in the future, and if they ever did I would never want a casino at the park. Put it downtown, or a place that needs revitalization. Keep it away from PKI and its image. If you want to gamble, go to Indiana, or if you're only 19, go to Windsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscountry4891 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I HIGHLY doubt that PKI will get a casino. First of all, as many have said, it's not geared towards family. Second of all, I think if PKI is going to spend some money on something they will spend it on rides and upkeep in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB/Gun Steve-O Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 No. Here's why: 1) Casino gambling is explicitly illegal in Ohio, and the many attemps to change that have failed miserably. 2) Theme park and casinos just don't mix, I think. Not in the midwest, at least. Maybe in Las Vegas. 3) It does not mix with the park's image, the one it wants to maintain at least. It advertises itself as a very family-friendly place for all the suburban moms to take their kids, not as much as a place for an ACER or something like that. 4) Where would they put the thing? 5) The park would become overcrowded - not to mentioned likely filled with smokers and drinkers, which many people don't like.

italianchef Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I wouldn't mind a casino, so long as it was separate from the park with separate admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmayes Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I live in Ky so I am a little unsure of one thing.... Is ohio moving towards making casinos legal? If they became illegal I would be totally against having a casino at this park. I wouldnt be surprised if a Paramount Casino popped up somewhere close to the park, but with the park having its parking limited on really busy days (which happen alot), i just cant see them putting their Amusement park guests through the hassle of more people.

Beastfreak Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 ...separate from the park with separate admission. Casino's with admission??? Every place I go... to donate money to the local schools by playing some games for money... its free to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I'm not old enough, so I don't really care. But if I was old enough, I would like to have a casino. As long as they put in a Texas Holdem' booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCat Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Having a Casino at PKI is a bad idea. The people at Kings Island should know this from Coney Island having a Casino and race track in the 20s. They got in trouble with the law and made them take it out. Plus to many kids would go in and thats good for the park image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Plus to many kids would go in and thats good for the park image. Wait, don't you mean thats not good for the park image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
