House panel approves bill to expand gaming
South Dakota to vote regarding casinos to offer more games

(US).- A South Dakota House committee has approved a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow Deadwood casinos to add some games. Deadwood casinos now offer slot machines, poker and blackjack. If the Legislature decides to put the proposal on the ballot, voters would decide whether to let the casinos offer roulette, keno and craps.
The State Affairs Committee voted 10-1 for a measure that would put the proposal to a statewide vote on the November ballot.
Supporters say the added games are needed so Deadwood and tribal casinos can compete with casinos in other states. They say craps and roulette also attract a younger crowd than the current games.
The bill's only opponent, Dale Bartscher of Family Heritage Alliance, argues that gambling should not be expanded in South Dakota.
