Indiana Bars and Truck Stops Wanting to Gamble

(STATEHOUSE) – While casinos gear up for a hearing today (Thurs) on a bill to loosen restrictions on how they operate, bars and truck stops are looking for a piece of the action.   A bill authored by Crawfordsville Senator Phil Boots would let bars and truck stops install low-stakes video gambling terminals. Illinois legalized the games in 2012 — last year, the games generated 200-million dollars in tax revenue.
