Please enforce the law, or legalize the machines. If they would legalize gambling in West Virginia, it would save a whole lot of trouble. If they'd start taxing the gray machines, it would give a lot of tax incentives to Charleston and West Virginia, and would cut down on taxes. I think it's asinine of anyone to even try to put any kind of regulation on these poker machines. There's no regulation on bingo halls in the state that takes money from the elderly.
People get addicted to that.
There is no regulation of the dog track. You have the lottery. The state just wants a cut of the money from the bar owners, and that's all it boils down to. I would like to see a study done on exactly how many people have lost their homes or had to file bankruptcy due to poker machines and gambling in the state of West Virginia. I bet it's pretty high.
