Slot Machines In Ohio Racetracks on the Nov. Ballot

A group that wants to put slot machines at Ohio's horse racetracks has decided to support a competitor's proposal, a move that could lead to only one gambling issue on the November ballot. Penn National Gaming Inc., owner of Toledo's Raceway Park, said Monday that it was joining the Learn and Earn campaign after that group dropped Cincinnati as a potential gambling site.

It was a reversal for Wyomissing, Pa. based Penn National, which said last week that it had no partners in its effort and plan to underwrite the issue alone. Learn and Earn filed ballot language on a revised plan last month that would establish slots-like facilities at Ohio's seven racetracks/casinos and allow two 3,500-machine locations in downtown Cleveland.
