OPINION: Louisiana’s casinos take Texans’ money; Texas Legislature happy to let them.
Lake Charles is a little over 140 miles east of Houston, two hours and change by car. Not such a bad drive for the chance to win (or lose) a lot of money.

Texans have been pouring into the casinos and now sports-betting parlors of Southwest Louisiana for almost 30 years, leaving behind billions of dollars in the Pelican State. Last weekend, they got yet another reason to cross state lines: A rebranded ESPN Bet sportsbook opened inside the L’Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles.
