Slot Licenses Will Not Be Delayed

Even though there has been much pressure from legislatures to delay issuing the slot machine licenses, state gambling regulators have decided to go ahead with it anyway. They have set dates of September 27^th for racetrack casinos, and December 20^th for non-track and resort hotel casinos.

The regulators decided that to hold off on the slot licenses would only hurt those that were waiting for them. They found that the property tax relief that homeowners were waiting for, and the funding that horse owners, etc. were in need of was more important than holding off on the slot machine licenses. Some of the legislators wanted them to hold off on the slot machine licensing as they wanted to amend the law.

The gaming board had issue with this, as the law is over two years old, and they felt that those that have been waiting for the financial benefits of the slot machine law had waited long enough. They said that they still have plenty of time to amend the slots law however they want come this fall when they are back in session again – for the board doesn’t award the non-racetrack and resort hotel slot machine licenses until December 20.
