Video Poker 247 - Kanawha County Fighting Video Poker
Video poker bars have done a lot of good for Kanawha County. They have paid for many major landmarks and improvements in the county, as well as paying for education and creating jobs. However, the leaders of the county are looking to rid themselves of the video poker machines, and many wonder why.
Local officials say that their county has roughly 1,658 mini casinos with these video poker machines, and they are “aggravating.” They say that people might get used to them, but they don’t necessarily want them in their county. So they are going to be holding meetings to decide how they might start getting rid of the video poker machines.
They want to eliminate the video poker clubs and are hoping that other counties will follow suit. They say that they want legislators to make video poker illegal when the licenses expire in 2011 – but for now no one else is jumping on the bandwagon.
Wood County has already said that they would like to see the video poker machines goes as well, but they say that without that revenue they will suffer. They say that not many counties can afford to eliminate the video poker games without having some other kind of revenue source in place first.
