Should Maryland Give Up? 

There are residents within the state of Maryland that would like to see the slot machine issue taken off of the table. These people come from both sides of the coin – some of them voted for the slot machines and some voted against them. But they are united in the fact that they are sick of hearing about slot machines and would like to see the whole thing go away. Many of those that voted and didn’t vote for the slot machines say that if the state is unable to get it together to make them legal, how on earth are they going to run them when they are up and running? 

This is a valid point. If you have a business that is running just fine and then you add a slot machine into it and it causes all kinds of troubles, you are going to get rid of that slot machine. This is how they feel about their government. There are those that think that it might be best to avoid all of the problems that this is creating with the state if they just let the idea go. 

They see that the state was permitted to bring in slot machines more than a year ago and yet there isn’t any running. They also see that there is a large percentage of time being spent by their government to make slot machines happen, and they are starting to wonder if that time might not be spent better elsewhere. 

They know that there is a lot of money involved in bringing the slot machines to fruition in the state, but they are also aware that there is a lot of money being spent trying to make this happen. Many are upset that the state signed a deal with a company to help them with the slot machines for millions of dollars when they don’t have the slot machines yet. They say that if the slot machines don’t go through in time they will be left holding the bag.
