Non Profits Need Slot Machines 

The state of Maryland is still fighting to get slot machines brought in, but some want to know how it will affect the little guys. By little guys of course they mean the charities and the non-profits who know that slot machines bring in more money than anything else in a casino and want to get their share of the profits. They are trying to get a bill passed that would allow them to do just that. 

It is not as though they haven’t tried before of course, and over the past two years there have been similar bills that have failed. This latest one would allow non profit organizations like the American Legion to bring in slot machines and collect the winnings from them. They say that the majority of money that comes into places like this goes out to other charities, so why not make it easier on them to raise the funds. 

They said that the smaller clubs and the larger ones like the American Legion need slot machines to stay up and running – especially if they are allowing slot machines at other locations. Those people who usually frequent the American Legion and what not will continue to do so if they offer slot machines, but otherwise they might be tempted to go elsewhere to have a good tie. 

Some lawmakers think that the state as a rule wants to see slot machines allowed for these groups, and that they have not gotten to get approval only because of all of the other slot machine bills that were going on. They think that now that slot machines have been legalized in the state that there is a good chance that they might see theirs approved as well.
