Illiniois will be your gambling mecca

Pretty much every bar and average Joe restaurant has a few slot machines. This is how they are going to solve their massive financial problem - making the citizens poorer.

The number of state-sponsored gambling “positions” — seats to place a bet inside a casino, bar or racino — will grow from almost 44,000 to nearly 80,000. That’s about four times the number of positions in any neighboring state, according to a review of gambling statistics by ProPublica Illinois and WBEZ.

Within two years, Illinois could have more than 7,000 video gambling establishments, 5,000 lotterylike sports betting kiosk locations, 16 casinos, five racinos and online sports gambling accessible on millions of mobile phones. The bill even allows video slot and poker machines at Chicago’s airports, O’Hare and Midway.

This was how they were going to fund our schools in NJ.

Yeah, property taxes are still near the highest in the nation, and that's mostly for schools. Good luck with that, Illinois! ;)
