Gov. Considers Gambling Expansion
New York Governor David Paterson is considering raising money for the financially strapped state by expanding gambling.
Paterson believes the state could get nearly $500 million in additional revenue by extending gambling to bars, restaurants and racetracks.
Among the proposals are allowing the Quick Draw game to be played 24 hours a day instead of 13 and making the game permanent instead of subject to review by the Legislature every few years.
Paterson also wants to lower the legal gambling age from 21 to 18.
