PITTSBURGH - Don Barden finally broke ground for construction of his North Shore casino today, just days after he overcame the final hurdle by reaching agreement with the Steelers and Pirates about traffic on the North Shore: they all agreed they hate it.
Last week Barden announced he will reduce traffic at the new casino by having the Pirates make a nightly appearance.
Barden said the new casino will hold open auditions for hookers and Mafioso to provide “genuine Vegas atmosphere” for slots players.

Barden also said he has retained former education secretary and gambler Bill Bennett to convince the public that gambling is not immoral. Bennett will plug the long-awaited sequel to his landmark “Book of Virtues” called “The Virtues of Trying for an Inside Straight in Deuces-Wild Video Poker.”
Barden's calculations show the casino will be profitable assuming two out of every three county residents file for bankruptcy by playing the slots during the casino’s first year of operation.
