Casino gambling being proposed for financially strapped Hawaii
"It is just another issue that we should consider because if there is a license that is sold, we pick up so many millions of dollars," said Say, as reported by KITV4, "It is just an option on the budget side."
The other area where a new casino would help would be in the unemployment rate. If a casino was to open in Hawaii, it is estimated that over 4,000 jobs would become available. The job creation and the millions of dollars may be something that state lawmakers can not turn down.

The issue of casinos has been one that is a hot topic around the US many states have expanded their gambling laws during the recession to help with budget shortcomings. Other states where gambling was already legal, have expanded their options.
