How is Ohio ranked in gambling? Currently, there is no legalized gambling in Ohio, but Ohio lawmakers have proposed to legalize video slot machines at the Ohio Racecourse. In most states around Ohio, such as Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia, video slot machines are legalized. Ohio's supporters of video slots at seven races say Ohio will produce between $ 400 million and $ 700 million a year. Supporters also said that this is an alternative to increasing taxes to pay for the Ohio Education Law and balancing state budgets. Anti-video slot opponents say social costs are too high. Legislated video slots may increase gambling addiction and bankruptcy. Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio State Finance Minister, said the plan is "a foolish economic policy." (Qtd in Columbus scheduling)
