After writing the three i-search papers, I chose the topic of gambling. I chose this topic because I think that it is an interesting and controversial topic in many places. There are pros and cons to having casinos in cities.Casinos create jobs and also creates additional revenue for the cities and states that allow casinos. Some people oppose to having casino in their cities because they believe that gambling will lead to an increase in crime. There are many different forms of gambling. There is gambling that takes place on the internet. There is a casino in Anderson, Indiana. The name of this casino is Hoosier Park. Hoosier Park casino has a race track. They call a casino with a race track a racino. In Fort Wayne, there is an off-track betting parlor that is on Washington Center. When I think of the topic of gambling I think of the world series of poker. Texas hold em' is the type of poker that is played. The world series of poker is televised on ESPN. The winner of the 2008 world series of poker won over nine million dollars. There was a bill that was purposed to move 500 slot machines to Fort Wayne. The slot machines would include games such as black jack and roulette without live dealers. Mayor Tom Henry has stated that he is open to the idea of Fort Wayne having a casino. This bill died Thursday after failing to receive a hearing by a key legislative deadline. The mayor said that it wouldn't be a problem if the issue had to wait until next year. There was an article written about the bill in the journal gazette in this morning's paper. There are currently twelve casinos in Indiana. I found several articles about the pros and cons of gambling on Ebscohost. These articles were very helpful.
