Should bowling alleys be permitted to have video slot machines?

By Doretta Donovan | Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 07:30 AM

Ohio bowling centers say they should be allowed to offer video slot machines if the state allows horse-racing tracks to get them. Should bowling alleys be permitted to have video slot machines?

NATE BAILEY, Dayton: “No, because a bowling alley is typically a recreational area, like a skating rink. It’s more of a family environment. We wouldn’t want to introduce our youth to any form of gambling. They should keep it in a more secure, more adult environment.”

ASHLEY ZIMORSKI, Troy: “Sure. I don’t see a problem with it.”

BRENDA SCHIMMEL, New Carlisle: “No, because children are there. Would children still be allowed to bowl?”

PATTY NORTH, Dayton: “I don’t know. That’s a place for kids. I don’t recommend kids seeing that going on. That’s just telling kids it’s OK.”

ANDREW RYALS, Springfield: “I don’t think they should. If you don’t have to be 18 to be there, it would be indoctrinating kids to gambling.”
