I've posted on this before...…..the voters, in 1970, had a chance to legalize gambling in this State...….do gooder's got on the band wagon, major campaigns to stop the attempt to "legalize any form of gambling"....THEY WON !!!!!!

Pull tabs, punch boards, pin ball machines, card rooms, after the election were illegal in this State...…

I can remember 10 of thousands of people flying, driving to Reno and Vegas, just to get their fix for gambling.

Tribes waited some time, then made the push...…..that's where we are!!!!

Now so much tribal money funds different elections......it would be tough to change......


Tribes have been on a roll since the 1970's....Bolt Decision, Gambling, selling booze, selling tobacco, selling gas probably more......It either "go with the flow or move to another state"


I'd like to go back to the late 60's....loved pin ball machines, punch boards, and pull tabs
