Empress Boss
Against Expansion
When
casinos are normally told that they are
going to be able to offer more slot
machines they get pretty excited about
it. They think that they have died and
gone to heaven. But this is not always
the case. Sometimes they think that the
expansion is a bad idea, and that is the
case with the Empress Casino. The
general manager at the casino, soon to
be the Hollywood Casino Joliet, said
that he thought expansion was a bad
idea. Jon Johnson said that the
expansion of slot machines was “the
wrong time” and that the state needed to
think more about that if they do it.
There
are already several casinos in
Illinois
and all of them would be able to bring
in more slot machines. Not only that,
but they would also see tracks being
able to bring in slot machines too. The
Empress says that they are having a hard
enough time getting people in with the
number of slot machines that they have,
and they say that if the expansion is
approved that they will not be adding in
more slot machines. They say that the
number of slot machines in the state is
already too much, and that by offering
more you are simply adding in extra slot
machines, but not more bodies to play
them.
They
say that the other casinos can do what
they want, but that they will not bring
in more slot machines as there is no
reason to.
