Indiana or The Riviera? Oh, no, wait: That is definitely Indiana.

As you probably know, the failure of local democracy known as Sugarhouse recently broke ground, and it’s looking like Foxwoods, its just-as-evil twin, is also considering fast-tracking a “temporary casino.” What, you ask, is a “temporary casino?” To some, it’s a big tent where you can gamble; for others, it’s a dystopian, butt-ugly shitbox where the hopes and dreams of the middle class and the working poor go to die. What do these things look like? Well, we thought we’d show you what a reader sent us: Photos of temporary casinos in Buffalo, Indiana, and in western PA (at the Meadows racetrack and casino). They are very funny to look at until you realize we’re probably gonna get one of these things.

The construction company that builds this one also makes another model that says “PRISON.”

At the Meadows in Western PA, the reception area very naturally draws the eye towards what is perhaps the world’s largest, roomiest Porta-Potty.

And they say slots parlors can’t have class.
