A recent article on our website about "Why Bell County Should Have Texas' First Casino" got a lot of listeners talking and set our Facebook page on fire with opinions of some in favor and some against.

While there is no actual proposal or plan in place for a casino in Bell County, a few our listeners believe that this would be a huge economic boom for our area and will help keep more dollars here locally from gamblers taking bus rides to neighboring states. Others feel that it could bring the economy down due to irresponsible gamblers and other vices that may be attracted to our area.

Take a listen to some of the calls we received on the topic and feel free to sound off in the comments below!
