Will you patronize Ohio’s casinos?
Once the Ohio casinos open, will you try them out?
LORI JOHNSON, West Carrollton: “Oh, yeah. I went to Indiana casinos before. I’d probably go to Cincinnati, maybe Columbus.”
SUSAN MEYER, Clayton: “No, because I figure out how long I would have to work to earn what I’m going to spend there, and I lose my motivation.”
BRAD SHINKLE, Kettering: “Yeah, probably. I had gone out of state before, but I probably wouldn’t now, since they will be closer.”
DENISE PETERSON, Kettering: “No. I don’t think gambling is a good thing. It can do a lot of damage to people who can’t control it, as well as their families.”
STEW SHECKLER, Bellbrook: “Maybe. I never went to the out-of-state casinos, but I grew up in Kentucky, and I have gambled at the horse races there.”
KIM TAYLOR, Clearcreek Twp.: “Probably not. I just don’t enjoy gambling. I think it’s great for the economy, and I think it’ll bring jobs in; even if they come from out of state, the workers will still be renting and buying food and goods to help the economy of Ohio.”
