Video Poker Bill Revised Before Passage
An addition to a bill banning video poker disappeared Wednesday faster than quarters in a slot machine. A sentence, which some legislators worried would allow gambling on the Cherokee reservation in Western North Carolina to expand, was swiftly removed from the proposal by a unanimous vote. The video poker ban then passed the Senate, for the second time in less than a week, by a 48-1 vote. The Senate preserved the meat of the bill outlawing video poker in most of the state. Gamblers could continue to play video poker on the Cherokee reservation.
