"A recent gambling-industry study revealed that tribal casinos in Alabama have been raking in money faster than similar casinos across the United States.
Faster, that is, than the Indian casinos in Mississippi, which flood Alabama television stations with ads telling gamblers that they have “real, Las Vegas casinos” while what Alabama has are merely pretenders.
