[QUOTE="NodakBuckeye, post: 159698, member: 714"] I spent 10 years working for a charitable gaming distributer that operated in 10 states. 2 things killed bingo halls- smoking bans and state owned casinos. Not talking a couple months of decline and the novelty wore off and back to business as normal. Brian hit the nail on the head, non profits and fraternals should be screaming bloody murder and if passed demand changes to be able to help level the field. Larger ticket counts, progressive pull tab games, etc... I'm not convinced all the potential income is worth all the headaches. The state will probably not run but license them out to private sector companies and take a cut and from what I have seen in other states, expectations of revenue are tough to meet. For me, nothing says more about a state than a casino: "We could use more revenue and the best we could come up with was gambling" [/QUOTE]
