Michigan Still Deciding if Slot Machines are Good

There is a lot to be said for the amount of money that slot machines ultimately bring in for a state. However, you cannot comment on the amount of money coming in, unless you also comment on the fact that most of the people losing that money cannot afford to.

The fact of the matter is every time slot machines come in, you get revenue for your state, as well as jobs. Ohio is considering bringing in slot machines as well and if they do they will create a proposed 5,000 jobs which will earn somewhere around $34,000 a year.

This then has a domino effect where other related tourist areas then see a growth in the creation of jobs as well and then more money from there. The state would benefit from the money and from the jobs – helping with a high unemployment rate.

But not everyone in Minnesota is thrilled with the casino that they have now, and bringing in more around the area doesn’t seem like a good idea either. The group that brought the state the Four Winds Casino is also the same group that is trying to bring in slot machines to Ohio.
