Steve Beshear, Governor of Kentucky has declared that the casino initiative he backed to bring in slot machines, blackjack, and roulette into Kentucky is dead. A week ago the similar gambling bill was rejected in Massachusetts; the current decision is added to defeats from Nebraska and Ohio that took place 2 years ago, the above mentioned facts signified a casinos slowing after an expansion period lasted for 20 years.

The trend of gambling and casinos all over the country appears to be on the downswing and a lot of lawmakers won’t consider even debating the bills. Lawmakers from Kentucky debated this bill for about 3 months, but made a decision to reject the bill.

The American Gaming Association Representatives don’t think there’s a trend developing since the lawmakers have rejected gambling not the public. The public are believed to be for the resorts and casinos, the jobs and the revenues they’d have given. As the economy of the USA is in very poor shape, such jobs would have been awfully welcomed. Hitherto 37 of 50 states of the US have some kind of commercial horse racing or gaming in them. The majority of them were constructed in the 1990s.

Casinos have not disappeared wholly for the last years. Florida, Kansas, and Pennsylvania legalized gaming for the last 2 years.

Beshear isn’t renouncing his efforts to build casinos in the state. He is sure that all these casinos could help to make estimated USD 600 million in tax revenue that would help the cash-strapped state. Kentucky citizens have already spent over USD1 billion on gambling by playing in casinos in the bordering states of Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Missouri.
