Communities Gear Up For Video Gambling

The state is gearing up to allow video gaming in bars, restaurants, and other public places.  Governor Quinn says they'll be keeping a close eye on the new gaming system.

Lawmakers passed a proposal to allow video gaming in 2009 but are just now implementing the system.  Quinn says overseers had to get proper equipment before it could be implemented.  He says he'd rather wait and get things right as opposed to dealing with glitches later.  But some gamblers across the state won't have access to video gaming.  That's because some communities have opted out of the system and banned it in their area.
