Slot machines bring an undeniable boost to the
economy—whether you are for or against slot machine gambling, slot machines
have revived tourism and jobs in cities around the world. And with this in
mind it begs the question, why are individuals so against slot machine
gambling in towns that desperately need the boost?
Currently Virginia already supports the lottery system to provide
scholarships and give money to the government. Counties like Smyth County,
Virginia, however might just benefit from the tourism and slot machine
revenue new gambling laws could provide. The current Virginia lottery is
wildly successful in the state, and many believe that slot machine opponents
are not thinking of all of the long term benefits that counteract the
possible slot machine and gambling addictions/
Opponents who cite that bringing slot machines to Virginia won’t provide and
lasting and significant boos to the economy should look at Tunica County,
Miss. This county suffered from severe poverty in the early nineties before
slot machine legislation doubled the average yearly income and significantly
decreased the unemployment rate. These facts point to the obvious debate
that Virginia could indeed benefit from slot machine legalization—but are
Virginia citizens ready to bring slot machines to the state?
