Video Slot Machines Up For A Vote?
Published: July 21, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio —One local group says Ohioans should be able to vote on video slot machines.
Gov. Ted Strickland is hoping video slot machines at horse race tracks will bring in much needed revenue.
But one group called Let Ohio Vote says it should be up to voters to decide if the state has slots machines or not.
The group filed a lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court and hopes to put the measure on the 2010 November ballot.

Just build casinos, I drive out of state every 2-3 months and spend around 400-600 on gambling. I would guess about 65-70% of the cars in those parking lots are Ohio plates. Keep that money in the state!!!!!!
For the extreme religious fanatics, here is a fun fact. Your governor who is METHODIST, is approving the slots, right? Do METHODISTS approve of gambling? According to multiple sites and info, (fact) they DO NOT! SO, here is my two cents: he is approving this, then he is really serious, going against his religious beliefs to make Ohio some $. That is serious commitment on his part. For the people against the gambling, just give it up, it’s over now. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CASINO ERA!
Let Ohio Vote:
Ohio did vote.
They voted wrong.
So now we’re making things right.
Also keep in mind that…If Kentucky were to get Slots before Ohio, then Ohio would start to be known as the “New Alamo”.
And if my memory serves me correctly, things didn’t turn out too well for those people either !!!
