No Gambling In NC

That is unless it is ran by the state and is for the children (sad face). After debating for the last couple of weeks our House has decided to ban all video poker machines in the state. The bill is now off to the Senate, which has voted to ban the machines several times in the past just to have it die in the House. Even Speaker Black now supports the ban, even after recieving illegal/questionable/unethical campaign contributions from the video poker industry. The ban will slowly reduce the number of machines in the state for 1 year ending July '07. This will leave the state to only compete with the Cherokee indian casino and the internet (under attack) for your gambling money.
