Slot Machine Bill is Coming

New Hampshire has money problems and they are hoping that the slot machines can fix them. They have several bills sitting in their legislature that would legalize slot machines, with the revenue going to public education. Their budget will not allow for them to put any more money into the school system, and hey have a court mandate that says they have to redo all school financing over the next six months. Those that have been pushing for slot machines feel that this might be a good time to get the slots legalized in a limited manner.

"I don't think we can afford not to do it," said Rep. Anthony DiFruscia. He has written a bill that would legalize a state owned casino, and/or slot machines at the state’ four racetracks.  With the democrats having taken majority control of the legislature there is a good chance that the slot machine bill will get passed.

Those that are opposed to the slot machines know that with the state facing such crisis’s that this will be a tough year for them to keep the slot machines out of the state. They have been fighting with the pro-slot machine groups for years, but with the political changes, and with the desperate need for more funding, if slot machines are going to pass – this is the year it will happen.
