Indiana Won't Legalize Video Gambling
A key state lawmaker says he won't push for legalization of video gambling machines this year. Fort Wayne Democratic Representative Win Moses says regulating and taxing the state's 20 to 30,000 illegal video gambling machines could bring the state 200 million dollars in tax revenue. The Indiana Licensed Beverage Association has tried to drum up support for the legalization of the machines, sometimes known as "Cherry Masters." Moses says he's sending the bill to a legislative study committee because there's not yet a consensus on the bill. House Speaker Pat Bauer has called legalization of video poker machines a "long shot" for passing the Legislature this session.
