Keeping gambling from the neighbourhoods
Published:  15 July, 2009

The Louisiana State Senate has approved SB 273, requiring video poker machines inside truck stops to be at least half a mile from residential properties. If enacted into law, it would apply to truck stops seeking new gaming license applications after January 1, 2010.

However, in other news that will help Louisiana operators, the state legislators defeated a bill, by a 71-29 margin, to expand any smoking bans in bars and casinos. Opponents persuaded lawmakers that more restrictions would hurt business, negatively impacting the state with lower tax revenues. Like most states, Louisiana faces budget deficits this year.
