After twelve years of debate by the General Assembly on gambling issues, State Representative Tom Burch has drafted a bill that would allow 18,000 slot machines to become legal in Kentucky.
The bill would allow every county the choice to have slot machines and would also allow 6,000 slot machines at the eight licensed race tracks in Kentucky.
Representative Burch says the bill would help raise money for Kentucky's treasury and lure tourists in a more subtle manner than casinos.

What difference does it make any way. Stop at most convienent stores in Kentucky and they already have slot machines. Stores say they are for amusement only, but who is going to put money in a machine without the chance of winning something? Personally I like table games better. You have way better odds of winning at Black Jack than stupid slot machines..those are a big waste and noone hardly ever wins at them. I would be more for Legalized table games. But I guess this will be the starting point.
