I find your figures highly exaggerated.  Less than 20% from outside the
metropolitan region?  Hardly.  If these mysterious marketing studies you
quote are true, then the casino will close down within a year. Please
tell us your source.  Ontario and New York State alone will account for
20% in my opinion.

Quebecers spend $3 billion/year in Atlantic City & Nevada?  Again, I ask
you who for the source of your information.  Even the $6 billion/year in
Florida sounds inflated, though I'm well aware of Quebecers' fondness
for that particular state.  Still, the amounts you cite seem
astronomical.
