The bad part is such easy access, imho.

Just like you, I would never judge a person due to a job.

My sister lives in Port St Lucie, FL and every time I go there for a visit we go to these little Parlor/Halls (don't know what they are called) and we play Keno on Keno slot machines. We both enjoy playing Keno. Where in FL does your mom live? Maybe it's a county thing or something.

But no one will be going anywhere in New England to gamble on greyhound racing as far as I know ....

Greyhound Racing Ends in New England; Opponents Focus on Florida

Broward Palm Beach New Times

Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri signed legislation Friday allowing betting parlors in that state to end dog racing, meaning greyhound racing is over in all of New England.

Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine each outlawed dog racing in the past couple of years. It ended for financial reasons in New Hampshire, and the state Senate recently voted to make live racing illegal. Connecticut's last greyhound track closed in 2006.

Now dog racing opponents -- namely GREY2K USA, an Massachusetts-based anti racing lobby -- are more focused than ever on bringing the fight to Florida.
