Three takes on the TTE relationship;

Appears we have some good coverage; maybe CNBC will pick up on it.

Let's see ELOT undercut corner mini markets by getting a 4 or 4.5% cut of lottery sales (due to lower overhead) instead of the usual 5% and see how quickly state lottery officials reassess their objections. Or let them see if the internet increases waning sales.

And Merrill Lynch is currently going through hell right now trying to keep their commissioned brokers happy while meeting the internet competition. Well I wouldn't bet on the commissioned brokers.

The internet is an irresistable force due to its cost and convenience, and internet lottery seems to lend itself really well to this venue. I think Netbank is a stupid idea, but ELOT has a niche on the internet.

And,Auric, ELOT is at the top of the "Hot" list.

Maybe the casinos you referred to should visit the Q-Seven website at q-seven.com ---if the casinos are ready, it looks like Q-7 is waiting for them... Hey: want to start a good rumor.--could be great for DWNS investors like myself.

George Anderson "does not see a very extensive market for it." Bet he would have said that about the satellite system too.
And another thing, if the Prez here of the MN lottery polled his membership and "didn't turn up a single lottery interested in putting
its games on the internet", then I bet he didn't use a pc to do the poll. Most people aren't interested in change until someone shows them the benefits of it. Maybe when someone goes to these uninterested parties and shows them on paper how elot can make them some moolah, then they will open their eyes.
