How about we get rid of them? I'll go for a Wampanoag keno parlor if just once I can go to buy a can of soda and not have to wait half an hour while some schlub ahead of me tries to decide which assortment of scratch tickets to blow his gas bill on. Oh, and I wouldn't be so sure election season is the right play for labor on this one. Voters shot down the wine-in-supermarkets thing not too long ago, and I don't see why they'd view this at all differently.
