He then spoke about helping Mask by getting campaign support for him as he was running for a re-election that time.

Mask Was Against Gambling Legislation
Mask did not vote for gambling legislation ever. He said that he would be politically hurt if campaign contributions from the casino owner were reported on his finance report of the campaign.

A proposal for expanding casino gambling in the American state of Illinois has not yet been enforced by the law. However casino developers are calling upon the Mayor of Lynwood Eugene William regarding the opening of a south suburban casino.

Casinos Would Be an Asset in the Suburbs
Plenty of money is at stake if the Governor Pat Quinn signs off the largest casino gambling expansion in the state of Illinois, especially since betting halls have already been legalized by the State. According to Eugene Williams, a casino triggers an economic development of a kind which has not yet been witnessed in the southern suburbs. A casino in the southern suburbs would be very valuable.

Governor Quinn Disapproves of Casino Expansion
Recently, the lawmakers in Illinois approved of the building of five new casinos in different parts of the State. This casino expansion plan included building a casino in the southern suburbs. It also included the building of slots at airports and racetracks. While the governor’s intentions have not yet been revealed, he has been known to state that such a gambling plan is highly excessive.

Mayors Regard Casinos As Employment Generating Mechanisms
In spite of the uncertainty surrounding the expansion of casinos, many mayors such as David Gonzalez of Chicago Heights are concerning themselves with slot machines and black jack tables. According to most mayors, casinos create jobs and boost the economy. Gonzalez argues that there is more unemployment in the southern suburbs than in the state as a whole. This is one of the reasons why casinos are being perceived as a way by which the economy can be vitalized. He estimated that having a casino in the southern suburbs would create as many as a thousand jobs.

Communities to Collaborate to Ensure Mutual Benefits
Gonzalez would prefer Chicago Heights getting a casino. However, even if some other town gets the casinos, the entire area in his opinion stands to benefit. He says that Chicago Heights will work in collaboration with other communities in order to ensure that a revenue sharing agreement is reached which will benefit the southern suburbs as a whole.

Suburban Towns Will Form A Consortium
Eugene Williams says that the south suburban towns are likely to form a consortium which will allow cities and towns to share the tax revenue that is produced by a casino. He also cautions that simply acquiring a casino is not enough. It has to run in a proper manner for a long time in order for it to generate rewarding consequences.

Lynwood Village Hall to be Relocated
Eugene Williams is also ready to relocate the village hall in Lynwood so that a casino can be constructed in its place. He would do this rather than see a casino being built in the busy Illinois 394. Eugene Williams feels that having a casino in the southern suburbs will be much more appealing for people than it being amidst other entertainment locations in 394.

The expansion of slot machines and casinos in the American state of Illinois is likely to produce very big payoffs for the gambling industry. This is especially so, according to experts in the industry because of the decline in the revenue which the gambling industry has witnessed this year.

Revenues Have Gone Down

As a result of the large scale unemployment which has severely curtailed the spending power of customers, the consumer spending on gambling has fallen down from a rate as low as 2.2 percent in the state of Illinois to as an even lower rate of 1.37 billion. According to Tom Swoik who is the executive director of Casino Gaming Association in Illinois, revenues have been down by thirty two percent. Revenues could even fall by a further twenty to thirty percent, he believes.

New Legislation in Chicago

In the state of Chicago on the other hand, a legislation is on the verge if being passed, that will allow the establishment of five new casinos. These casinos will be set up in the suburbs of Chicago, the Lake County area, the main sites of the state as well as downstate. The local communities where the casinos are going to be set up, definitely stand to benefit from such an expansion.

Expansion could harm Existing Casinos

The expansion of casinos in the state of Chicago, could however hurt the Hollywood Aurora, Elgin Grand Victoria, Harrah Joliet and Hollywood Joliet’s casinos. The new casinos which are going to be established in the city, are going to pull away the business from the existing casinos. Michael Hicks who is a Professor at And Ball State University, is of the opinion that this casino expansion will be devastating for the casinos in north west Indiana. He argues that at least one or two of these casinos are going to shut down. The Mayor of Elgin, Dave Kaptain says that the people in the city are going to lobby for this bill to be vetoed. The Joliet city will lose as much as six million dollars in a year if the proposed casinos are actually built.

Gaming Taxes Have Declined

Gaming Taxes have reached an all time low of 21.5 million. This is largely due to the recession as well as the smoking ban imposed in Illinois. This has driven gamblers away to the city of Indiana where they feel free to smoke.

Expansion To Make Illinois Better Gamer

According to Rittvo, in spite of the expansion of casinos in Chicago, there is not likely to be an kind of doom for the southern suburban casinos. He notes that while in states like Detroit, the casinos have done well, in a state like New Orleans they have performed quite miserably. However, the new casinos could put Illinois in a better position when competing with their counterparts from Indiana. Leaders in the Southern suburb are gearing up for a fight over gambling license in the southern suburb. Places like Country Club Hills and Ford Heights are being very competitive and are agitating a lot to set up casinos.?
