Although the state of Oregon already offers Indian tribal casinos, there is a potential that private businesses may be allowed to open casinos in the state. The people of Oregon will be heading to the polls to vote on Measure 75. This is a proposition that, if passed, will allow these private businesses to open up their own casinos around the state.

If Measure 75 is passed the money that will be raised by the casinos created in the measure will end up being taxed through the state as a gambling tax. The revenues will be sent towards the state’s education fund. This will also work to ensure that general taxes are not raised for people who do not use the casinos and that people will use this money on Oregon schools instead of going to other states to gamble at casinos.

The totals for how many jobs would be created and how much would be raised is unknown. Measure 75 is expected to get at least five thousand new jobs created in various sections around Oregon. Also, it is expected to help with raising about $150 million for the state each year. These are all estimates used to determine how successful the casinos may be.

The city council in North Charleston, South Carolina has passed a series of ordinances allowing the use of casino boats to sail out of the city. Four ordinances were passed in this hearing to allow these boats to begin operation.

The boats will be able to dock in North Charleston in a couple of months. It is expected that at least one or two boats will be ready in time for the summer of 2011.

A major part of the ordinances used for these casinos comes from how the city is going to earn a share of the profits that these boats bring in. A percentage of the money that the boats will earn off of their operations will be taken in by the city in exchange for allowing the boats to operate in the area. It is estimated that the boats could end up bringing in about a million dollars to the city.

The ordinances were passed despite protests. Some argued that these casino boats would introduce them to gambling but city council determining that only people who could afford to access these boats could use them. There is even the potential that people will not gamble all the time when on these boats.

The revenues that were received by the eighteen casinos in Louisiana were down in May. The riverboat casinos, race track casinos and downtown New Orleans casino received a combined total of $203.6 million in May. This is a decline of nearly ten percent from what the casinos received in May 2009.

The revenues that were received by the thirteen riverboat casinos in Louisiana went down by fifteen million dollars in value. This is a concern to the state in that these riverboat casinos dominate a majority of the revenues that casinos in the state handle.

The slumping economy is cited as a major reason as to why Louisiana casinos are losing revenues. However, the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been found to be a major influencing factor. The concerns about the safety of the Gulf Coast and fears of what could happen in the event of a hurricane have impacted tourism in the state. This is causing the casinos in the state to end up losing money.

It is expected that the casinos in the state may end up losing more money for months to come unless the recent oil spill is fixed. The timetable for this is unknown.
