Hawaii Eyes Casino Expansion To Boost Tourism, Save Economy

Casino News - February 1st, 2010 - Written By Glen

The tropical state of Hawaii, a resort destination for many American's, a piece of paradise away from the urbanized culture of the contiguous states, is not without its problems. Being so far from the production of civilization has made the state's economy rocky at best, and totally dependent on imports for survival. Unless you count fruit and fish.

In order to aid Hawaii's economic agenda, one law maker has proposed legalizing one casino for the state, which is expected to bring in millions of dollars for the budget. House Speaker Calvin Say has proposed the legislation, and hopes that the taxed casino Win will help save the state.

The legalization and taxation of gambling in states that had previously eyed casino gambling with contempt has become a reality, bringing casinos to many states in the union. Pennsylvania and Delaware, as well as Ohio, are the most recent to begin adding or changing gambling laws to fit the bill.

Other than straight taxes generated, Say has harked upon the job creation typically brought by new casinos. Thousands of jobs, estimates say, could be created by the establishment of a casino in the state. Income tax would then add to the state's revenue, not to mention increased spending by those who could otherwise not afford to do so.

Currently, Hawaii Online Casinos are the only option for casino gambling in Hawaii. Other than the online edition of casino gaming, over two thousand miles lie between the island paradise and casino action. Provided the legislation passes, players, be them residents or tourists, will be able to enjoy casino gaming in a live setting.
