Bingo: Churches, schools were first to offer bingo
Nonprofit organizations -- churches, schools and fraternal organizations
-- have depended on bingo profits for years and years to carry on their
worthwhile programs. Now they would like to convert to electronic bingo
that would be more attractive to folks becuz it would pay higher
stakes. Participating charities bingo would be hooked up to the same bingo game and
there would be a single pot thus a bigger pay-off.
Currently, bingo offered by nonprofits is losing appeal because casinos are offering glitzier pay offs. A bill to allow electronic bingo by charities is before Sacramento electeds. There's strong opposition by the casinos who claim it's an invasion on their turf. Some of the electeds who reap lush campaign support from casinos and are even told what they should have for breakfast aren't likely to be sympathetic toward nonprofits who can't afford slick, highly paid lobbists.
Racetracks are facing the same dismal future as the nonprofits. They would like to offer casino-type gambling along with horse racing. Casinos are strongly opposed. Since pari-mutuel wagering was legalized in 1933, racetracks have paid the state billions of bux in fees and taxes but now it has a more lucrative cash bovine. At least one casino in the county currently wants to add even more slots to its huge inventory.
