Just the Facts Ma’am

With Proposal B being voted on in less than a month, Guam will know soon enough whether or not they will have slot machines approved at Guam Greyhound. The Proposal “Initiative to Revitalize Tourism in Guam and Generate Revenue for Health Care and Public Education by Allowing Slot Machine Gaming” will legalize slot machines at Guam Greyhound Racetrack. Ten percent of the annual slot machine gross income would go to the local government, which would go towards health care, education, and local programs. Here is each side’s story:

Supporters:

The 200 slot machines would bring in 500 jobs
The 10% would equal about $3 million, which will go to education and health care
The dog track and surrounding areas will be revitalized
It will spur economic growth

Opposition:

Adding slot machines would only add to the prevalent gambling problem that already exists in Guam
The joblessness, crime and other social problems would increase with the addition of slot machines and those problems would cost more than the amount of revenue slot machines would bring in
Slots would destroy local businesses, not revitalize them – as the casinos will take money from them
No amount of money from the slot machines is worth the economic and social risk to the people of Guam, nor will it be enough to compensate for it.
