Legalize video gambling? It's worth debate

Journal and Courier Online - Editorial:

"Many people who play video poker might want more than amusement for their quarters, but they don't expect to become rich, any more than many people who play the lottery.

One form of gambling has the player matching wits against a machine. The other lets players daydream about what it would be like to be rich. The former is illegal, usually tucked in the corner of bars and clubs, while the latter is advertised heavily and is available at almost every gas station and convenience store in Indiana.

Proposals to legalize video gambling in Indiana, the most recent from state Sen. Robert Meeks and state Rep. Win Moses, have merit."
