Bye Bye Ohio Slots

[Solomon]

There has been much legal battle in the state of Ohio in the past year after it has been found that games of skill were exempt from anti gambling laws, now all the legal battling will come to an end as Governor Ted Strickland has signed legislation to make all machines that pay out money illegal.

Several slot parlor owners had found loopholes in previous laws, claiming the machines they had in their establishments were games of skill and not chance, and that has allowed them to stay open.

Now, these parlors will have no choice but to shut down after the new laws say that any machine that gives a cash payout will be considered illegal.
