Ameristar reports, in effect, that they have bought the law to their advantage in MO and CO. Yet this may change back the other way as well. Indian competition, changing social values (like the no-smoking rules) are unpredictable. Global and National competition still draw more people not just high rollers to Vegas & places like Macau
