Governor Lynch’s Opus to Gambling

The state of New Hampshire has been trying to make the decision as to whether or not it was a good idea for them to bring in slot machines. There are many people who think that the slot machines are a good idea, but it appears that there may be just as many that don’t. But Governor John Lynch is confident that the state will make the right decision when faced with all of the facts as to how it might get done. He has hand picked a commission to study how the slot machines might affect the state, and they have returned with a 175 page final report.

This report says that slot machines will bring in at least $90 million a year from expanding their offerings. They also said that if the state does not make slot machines legal and the state of Massachusetts does – they will lose $69 million in lost lottery, restaurant and meals taxes. They also said that in order to make the slot machines legal, that first they have to complete a business model on the long term impacts to the state. They also have to look to see if slot machines would damage their tourism brand.

They found that although there would be a large influx of cash from the slot machines, they would also have to look at the communities and the state in regards to how it influences and affects each aspect of it. They say that you cannot simply say that the state will get millions extra as it will assuredly need to come from somewhere else. This report does not settle though as to how many slot machines there should be, or if there should be casinos – and how many.
