Could bowling centers provide some economic relief for the state? The Bowling Centers Association of Ohio, which represents the interests of 300 bowling centers across the state, thinks so.
“As Ohio lawmakers grapple with the huge budget deficit, the bowling centers are proposing a limited expansion of gaming in their centers,” political consultant Connie Nolder said. “BCAO supports a maximum of 10 video lottery terminals per center, located in a secured area, only accessible to those customers 21 years or older.”
The terminals, Nolder said, would be managed by the Ohio Lottery Commission and could bring in more than $130 million per year to help Ohio schools.
The potential expansion of the state’s gambling industry to permit the use of video lottery terminals (VLTs), commonly referred to as slot machines casino, is no longer limited to racetrack owners and casinos investors. The BCAO hired Nolder to help the organization undertake a grass-roots effort to enable bowling centers to have slot machines if expanded gaming comes to the state.
