What are your views about it?

Could be installed at the state's roughly 25 existing pari-mutuel facilities, bringing in revenue of between $1 billion and $2 billion, under a bill approved Monday by a Senate committee. The program would be overseen by the Department of the Lottery, which would send 50 percent of the revenue to the Education Enhancement Trust Fund.

Let the people gamble, I say!

Not much difference allowing betting on horse and dog racing or jai alai vs. having slot machines and video gambling, in my opinion. As a matter of fact, when I went to Vegas a couple months back I ONLY did the video gaming machines and slots (cause I don't want to get my butt whooped at the tables, lol).... so if those options didn't exist I wouldn't have dumped my money into the local economy.

Just be sure to have lots of signs around for gambling addiction!

Will video gambling be a problem?
