[Sportsandrec] Accessible Electronic Gaming Devices in Casinos?

[Justin Young]

Hi Carly & Amanda!

I definitely will keep you both and everyone else informed of all
progress on this effort!  Carly you have an interesting idea which I
think is part of the problem.  If people know where to find these
devices then that helps as well!

Justin
