Here's A Look At Other Gambling-Related Voting Results Around The United StatesCalifornia, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Colorado All Had Gaming Decisions |
|
While the biggest ballot question this week was in Massachusetts as voters there were tasked with deciding whether a 2011 law authorizing casinos should be repealed entirely, a handful of other states had gambling-related issues up in the air on Tuesday.
Below is a look at what happened in the other states. It was a mixed-bag for the gaming industry at large.
California: The North Folk Rancheria of Mono Indians did not get the go-ahead to build a casino on land the tribe bought just north of Fresno. It wanted to build off its reservation and other tribes reportedly opposed that move.
South Dakota: Voters signed off on Amendment Q by a 57-43 percent margin. It will allow roulette, keno and craps at gambling facilities in the city of Deadwood.
Rhode Island: Newport Grand wanted to have table games, but voters in the city where it’s located rejected it for the second time in two years. State voters were OK with the expansion, but that wasn’t enough. The $40 million renovation will not happen.
Colorado: Voters in the state rejected Amendment 68, which would have allowed three racetracks in the state to offer casino-style gaming. Back in July, there were enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot, but when the time came there wasn’t enough support. If it had passed, casino-style gaming would have been available in the Denver-metro area.
South Carolina/Kansas: Both states saw voters approve nonprofit charitable raffles.
