Default Illinois Slots
Does anyone have any idea if the slots will pass in IL to be placed in Arlington and hopefully double the purses? What day is the ballot on for?

Hey Paul...The Senate and House adjourned last Friday without calling the Slot bill for a Vote. It will pass the House easily, but there are 5 Senators from Casino districts who are making it difficult in the Senate. The Speaker won't call the bill unless they know they have the votes and this is the problem. Ironically, the "good" news in all of this is that they also adjourned without passing a budget so they must recovene in the next few weeks to get that done and the Slot bill will be brought up again.

Default Thanks Bob
Doesn't seem like a slam dunk.
Always some roadblock involved......
