I believe this was the purpose of these taxes.
Mapau and De other financiers don't like competition...

Guys this is a strategy used by the casino industry over the years and it's getting old,they try to make it seams as if low income folks would be jobless,but this is not about the worker, the casino Indus continues to cheat and evade the government and until legislation is passed ,to regulator the industry those guys a mudslinging off with huge untaxed profits

[pugboy]

afaik casinos have been operating via a legal loophole
any multimillion dollar business operating via a loophole should not be complaining
far less the numerous corner bar operations run by the chinese
of course the bar owners/landlords happy to collect rent and takings

we surely in the running for most gambling places/sq mile in the world

Lol but the big guys are UNC,that same group who saying they voted pnm are a unc group ,sherry persad is kamla cousin and devant maraj is also a big boy in there.The reason why they are taxed double the amount is because at the time to pay taxes and fees,they remove machines from the establishment pay less taxes or none at all if they move out all machines,then add them back after inspection,this is how they cheat the government.
But as soon as government react ,it's all about single mothers lol ,oh and that group sunny group is a unc financier

John Wallis seems to be smarter than someone to support one party

This is going to be a very interesting fight.
Unfortunately the employees may just be pawns in this game.
I wonder why the employees union don't seem to be concerned with their employers implementation of immediate down-sizing like all other going concerns.
If Massy, Ansa or the banks decide to shut-down just so the unions going to take them employers to hell.
