Issue 3 Could Win 

It looks as though Ohio residents are going to pass Issue 3. This constitutional amendment would make slot machines legal at horse racetracks and would build four gambling casinos in the state. Northeast Ohio and the southwest part of the state have the strongest support for the slot machine initiatives according to experts. 

This comes as a shock to those who have not been interested in legalizing slot machines in the state up until now. Opponents of Issue 3 say that they were sure that the state would not pass the legalization of slot machines considering how opposed its residents have been, having voted down similar proposals several times already. However Ohioans may not necessarily one slot machines in their state, but they want the revenue that would come from it. 

Residents of the state say that not only are they not necessarily for slot machines but they don't feel that they have the right to keep them out when there are so many people who are interested in playing them. The majority of residents think that may should not make this decision for those who are interested in playing at the slot machines, and know that the revenue that would come from them would be significant. 

A poll from a local newspaper says that there are 59% of residents across the state in support of bringing in slot machines. In the Northeast the proposal has 63% support. The poll also showed their registered voters wanted to see video slot machines at the state horse racing tracks, 62% think that is a good idea.
