Patrick Crowley, Enquirer staff writer, talks about much money Kentucky residents are gambling in southern Indiana. He sys that Kentuckians lost an estimated $600 million at five of Indiana's riverboat casinos between July 2004 and June. He makes the point that gambling could generate millions of dollars for Kentucky as the General Assembly faces a billion-dollar deficit in the state budget and talks about Legislation filed by Sen. David Boswell, D-Owensboro, to allow nine casinos in the state. Five would be at horse tracks around the state - including Turfway Park in Florence - and four would be at free-standing locations. However, opponents doubt Kentucky lawmakers will approve gambling in 2006.

A side note the story also lists the fact that Kentuckians wagered $61.6 million at Grand Victoria resulting in $17.6 million in taxes.
