When talking about the cutback in hours, the casino association president says “Thousands of workers would lose their jobs,”

I'm sure they are very worried about the jobs. It's not the casino revenue lost, it's the poor employees.

Off course they have concerns over their profit margins. What is so wrong with that? Businesses invest with the expectation that they are going to make a profit. Nothing amazing or new there and nothing new about using factual arguments to buttress your position even if they are peripheral your main concern.

What I find amazing is the Costa Rican government. Obviously taking away 66% of the hours a casino is able to operate is going to require less employees. In a country where good jobs are at a premium why would you do that? I really do not see how reducing a casinos operating hours is doing anything to benefit the country.

Have you ever actually seen the CR gov't make a good decision on anything? Serious, in all my nine years I just scratch my head at each latest CR calmity.

They are just crazy if they think this will stop the russian mafia from opening the casino in SJ. Profits are just icing on the cake for them. They just want a place to launder money.

Finalization of decrees in todays www.amcostarica.com on page 1. The decrees now have 6 months to be enforced. During that time,the casino association is likely to protest the 6pm to 6am opening hours restrictions.
