They not only want a vote on the casinos, but also want to stop slots and simulcast betting on greyhound racing. Now there are people that think there is a difference between a casino and some slots machines at a racetrack. I have heard people talk negatively about casinos but a big meh about slots. And the banning of dog racing is from left field. I know Ma banned dog racing but this shouldn't have been put on this ballot question. Racing people were never happy that dog racing was eliminated and now will be incensed that betting on out of state dog racing will be stopped. This question will not pass me thinks.
