I've just read where our lovely leaders in Charleston have banned the word casino from all signs and advertisements. I guess it had something to do with the "casino" on Edwin Miller Blvd that was in a building the size of a house.

I read that too. But the one thing I don't understand is why would the owner call it a casino in the first place? The place is a lounge that serves food and alcohol, and it only has 5 lottery machines. Do 5 machines make a casino?

I guess, maybe he was trying to make it sound all nice. Like an exotic dancer club rather than a strip club.

I guess that's true too, but when I think of casino, I'm thinking there are lots and lots of machines.

Me too, I think off something like Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas or something like that.

So just the word on an ad is banned? So if they call it a gambling den it is ok? Or a s----ers hall it would be alright? What a panic!

What is s----ers supposed to be? I just can't figure it out.

sucker's??????

of course..I was just trying not to get in trouble by the 'moderator'..

Congratulations on solving the puzzle, DragonLady! And thanks for playing Wheel of Fortune! Sorry, we have no prizes to give out.

Hmmmm...first thing that came to my mind was 'sinners'...

Guilty conscience, perhaps ??

I just thought of something--maybe your state is getting money from Maryland to let us have casinos(use the word) so your state sounds upscale...

Yeah, we West Virginians are so urbane!
