More Slot Machines Means More Jobs

The French Lick slot machine casino opened its doors amidst fanfare and orange shirts. The slot machine casino has been trying to get its doors open for a couple of years, and those that supported that effort were on hand to see it finally happen. One of the partners in the slot machine casino was The Cook Group, and their Chairman Steve Ferguson brought many of the orange shirted supporters to the stage during the opening of the casino.

He also wanted to bring attention to the late Jack Carnes, who was a long time slot machine casino supporter who unexpectedly died two years ago in an automobile accident. His son and daughter were on hand for the slot machine casino’s opening, and he had his children be the first to play the slot machines at the opening.

Carnes daughter, Connie Cox cried and said, “This was his dream. He would be so in awe that all this has finally happened."

Rep. Jerry Denbo, also a longtime supporter of slot machines said he was overwhelmed thinking about how far they had come in the past 13 years, since Indiana legalized slot machine gambling. Residents said that not only would they have fun playing the slot machines, but that the slot machine casino would also bring in jobs for their young people, something that was sorely needed in the area.
