City Might Need Slot Machines to Survive

The mayor of Toronto is considering bringing in a casino to help them out of a financial crisis. Mayor David Miller, as well as several other Toronto councilors are considering the idea that slot machines might not be enough to help them out, and that a full scale casino at their Woodbine Racetrack might be just the thing their city needs. But they want a large portion of the revenues from any of the table games, and the provincial government thinks that they get enough money already from the existing slot machines.

Miller said that a casino would be great at Woodbine if the city gets the money, but because they already have slot machines that is the only way they would consider it. He says that if the table games revenue goes the way of the slot machine revenue, to the province, then he is not interested.

Councilor Adrian Heaps agrees with Miller and says that if the casino would solely benefit Toronto he would vote for it, otherwise they can keep sending on the slot machine revenues because that is all they will have to offer. The mayor has been trying to find more ways to bring in revenue to the city, so he said that by adding table games to the slot machines it might solve their problems, but only if they keep the revenue.

Other councilors do not think that a casino is a good idea, however. They think that other places have table games they can go there if that is what they want, but if they want slot machines, they will come to Toronto. They think that the addition of a full scale casino will change the aesthetic of Toronto, and that is something no one wants to see.
