Columbus—State Representative Clyde Evans (R-Rio Grande) today announced his intention to introduce a constitutional amendment to address the shortcomings of Issue 3, which passed a public vote on Tuesday.
In a press conference at the Ohio Statehouse, Evans stressed that the constitutional amendment would not change the casino services that Ohioans voted into effect, but instead would provide accountability and fairness in the new casino law.
There has been a flurry of casino talk in the last recently, and it won't end. The myohionow folks and their rivals plan to put a new initiative on the ballot to make gambling legal in Ohio.
You Ohio people are so STUPID!!! Why would any idiot who lives in Ohio and can see people are loosing their jobs and moving out of state decide "their moral obligations" to decline issue 6 because they "think" that they don't gamble so why approve this sin (no one is forcing a gun to your head to play there, and for those morons that say "well I won't vote for it because it is too far to drive to I can go elsewhere closer". WE NEED JOBS PEOPLE!!!

It always bugs the hell out of me when I read about some church or charity throwing their annual "gaming" events. The Ohio bluenoses, who rage about slot machines and roulette wheels in bars and other businesses, suddenly go soft and mushy for their local fundraiser, grab their wallets, and go off to spend the evening putting money on a spinning wheel and playing blackjack.
I'd just like to quickly point out to anyone that might not be aware of this, but Keno is one of the worst gambling games you can play in terms of the "house edge". The factor/amount of this house edge can vary based on the payout structure, but THE BEST you could hope for would be around 25% or so. This means that for every dollar you play, you will lose $0.25 in the long run.
