Governor Considering Slots

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is “taking a look” at the option of bringing slot machines to the tracks in the state. Fairmount Park Racetrack has recently started their new season and they have been arguing that it was important to them that they get approved for slot machines because without them there was a real likelihood that they would not be able to survive. They know that if they close that it would greatly affect the state, and leave them with a gap not just in revenue for the state, but also a gap in the jobs that would be lost by them having to leave.

When asked, Quinn said that he did not think that slot machines would necessarily be a bad idea. He said that the track had come up with a proposal and that he was going to “take a look at it” to see the merits of the plan. He said that he is not willing to absolutely say no to the idea, and that there could be real possibilities in it.

But for those that say that the governor is trying to save the race track, there are those that know that there are some ulterior motives going on here. They say that the state is looking to bring in more revenue as they have seen how the new video poker law being passed was not that big of a financial boon for the state as they thought it would be. They thought that there was a bigger deal going on and that the state is simply looking to save face and this is one way of doing that.
