Gaming Initiatives Win Most Battles on Election Day

For the most part, gaming initiatives across the country were successful in one form or another.

From IGWB:

"Nov. 4 was a banner day for the gaming industry, with referenda to expand casinos and other gambling being approved everywhere except Ohio and Maine. In those states, referendums sought to create a single (and first) resort casino within the state. But elsewhere saw several firsts, including the first slot machines in Maryland, the first casino in West Virginia and the first lottery in Arkansas."
