It turns out that Kane County board members may have made a hasty decision regarding the future of video gambling in the county. Board members now want another vote on the issue, after they sit down with state lawmakers.

The county is one of many areas in Illinois that has banned the video gambling machines. Upon further investigation, however, the Board now believes their stance on the issue may hurt them when they try to obtain funds from the state.

"It puts our legislators at a disadvantage as they advocate for us," said board member Bill Hyatt, "We're going to pound our fist on the table and say we want more money coming back to the county. Well. we just passed a vote that said we're not going to participate in funding for the capital bill we pushed for."

Now that Kane County has seen the possible error of their ways, other jurisdictions may soon follow. Illinois lawmakers passed the video gambling law to help individual counties and towns through these tough economic times.

"It is kind of like when a child does not like the dinner that their parents made, so they tell their parents they are not hungry," said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz, "Then, ten minutes later that same child wants dessert. Well the parent is going to say 'No.'"

Illinois lawmakers will be keeping a close eye on the areas that turned away their help for increased revenue. When these areas coming looking for funds, the lawmakers may be inclined to turn their back, citing the video gambling ban.
