"Within a short distance of Spokane, you can find four casinos (two owned by the Spokane Tribe), over 100,000 square feet of gaming space, all the slot machines, table games and high-stakes bingo any gambler could ever get enough of; not to mention the five local commercial card rooms (with a total of 60 tables) and the state lottery games offered in every grocery store.
Where is the public demand for more gambling outlets? The only “players” asking for more are the Spokane Tribe, Airway Heights City Council, and Gov. Chris Gregoire. Greed is a funny thing: There is never enough. "
