Slots
are Coming to Atmore
Slots are coming to Atmore. Where? Atmore, Alabama, where small town is
personified. Yet, they are about to undergo a change that those in this
small town cannot begin to envision – they are getting slots.
The town has a total of roughly 7,600 residents, and when you drive the
streets of this town you see the local hangouts, you see the places that
people congregate to talk about the people who just don’t happen to be
there at the moment. These are the places that talk about the fact that
someone or something new is coming to town, and now that talk has turned
to slots.
The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is bringing slots to this tiny town, and
not everyone is happy about it. Some residents say that it is about time
something new happened around here, but many say that this kind of new is
not the kind of new they need. They have started construction already, so
it is only a matter of time before the slots have an actual home.
They are actually bringing in electronic bingo machines, but those that
live there say that it doesn’t make a difference. They look like slots,
they sound like slots, and as far as they are concerned, they are slots.
They are building a $250 million, 16 story bingo palace that will bring
with it slots and all the traffic and mayhem that go along with them.
They are building a “destination” not just a slots casino, and that is
what has so many residents worried. They say that their little town can’t
support that kind of development; that they would have to grow to
accommodate it and that is something they aren’t really keen on.
Others say that the slots will bring with them much needed jobs, and not
just that, but good paying jobs as well. They say that many residents
have to leave town to get work and that many of their young leave for
work and don’t come back. They think that if there were jobs available
many of them might stay and invest in their own community, instead of
setting up shop elsewhere. And they think slots are just the thing to do
that.
