Local rumors are gambling is about to be legal in Texas (no citation so apologies). It’s either he wants to build the first casino/maybe arena or yeah… run for office

Rockets owner has multiple Casinos, and has been lobbying to legalize gambling in Texas for years. He wants to build a Casino by the water in Galveston.

Massive gambler Mattress Mack from Houston, and interests in Oklahoma, and Louisiana are lobbying against it.

I mean the Mavs were valued at 4.5 billion and he sold for 3.5...I'm sure the other billion will be used to lobby all the greedy politicians into legalizing gambling there.. business is about to Boom!

Poker rooms are somewhat new in Texas no?

[–] JunkSack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t know if they’ve always been around or not but they’ve definitely become more popular and visible in Houston. As long as the house doesn’t take a cut from the pot(these rooms use membership fees etc) it’s 100% legal in Texas.
