Will Windsor Get Sports Betting?

Opposition critics are blasting a proposal that could see Las Vegas-style sports gambling in casinos.

The Toronto Star is reporting that the federal and Ontario governments are moving towards allowing gamblers to wager on individual sports games in casinos in a bid to boost sagging casino revenues.

Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory says it's just another distraction by the Ontario Liberals who have done nothing to lift the province out of its current economic downturn.

NDP critic Peter Kormos says expanding gambling in the province is incredibly irresponsible and shows just how addicted the Liberals are to gaming revenues.
