Casino Lobbyists Back Clinton in Indiana and North Carolina

By Angela Bedford on May 6, 2008  Email it!    Print Version

Play Slots at Rushmore Casino! HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- The casino industry is closely watching the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack-Obama in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries. Both states have announced record turnout by voters as media attention has pitted these contests as the deciding factor in how the Democratic race for presidential nomination will unfold.

As the voting ended in Indiana, it appears Hillary Clinton has a sizeable lead over Barack Obama, a man whose poll numbers have dropped dramatically since his connections to well-known anti-Americans have become public.

In the exit-polls, the economy was the top issue by far in both states, according to interviews with people as they completed the voting process.

Some people in the casino gambling industry believe if Hillary Clinton becomes president of the United States, she could potentially support new laws that would allow casino gambling online. At this time, the US only permits wagering on horse racing, due to the effects of the UIGEA.

Hillary Clinton has received public endorsement by some of the countries most outspoken casino industry executives and lobbyists. If she becomes president, many are predicting a favorable outcome for the gaming industry as a whole.

In recent years, Democrat Hillary Clinton was in favor of a study to find out if online gambling can be fairly regulated and legalized.
