    Greektown Casino Sold to Penn National

    Anybody think this is good for us players.

    I also recently read that Dan Gilbert had a slight stroke.

    "Under the $1 billion deal ... in an all-cash transaction... "

    Wow... talk about packing problems!

    Assuming they use $100 bills, $1 billion is 10 million Benjies, or a stack nearly 3,600 feet tall. In terms of volume, the Benjies require nearly 400 cubic feet, or a 5 feet by 8 feet by 10 feet volume... Good luck fitting THAT in your carry-on luggage!

    Furthermore, you'd better be in good condition, because 10 million Benjies weighs in at about 220 lbs... Might be better to use rolling luggage!

    Just a little early morning math run ;-)

    In my experience, Penn ruins good casinos when they take over.

    Yes, Gilbert had a stroke. I thought Vici Properties was a part owner of JACK Entertainment. Apparently not. I do like their stock.

    I think you missed a few zeroes there. In my experience, 10 million benjamins weigh about 22,000 pounds.

    Penn National will ruin any BJ opportunities, as implied by '21 for me'
