As gambling expands in Ohio, several nonprofits are asking the Legislature to allow electronic bingo machines in licensed halls.

This will allow them to stay competitive as skill games continue and casino construction begins in Ohio, say officials from the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

“Obviously, if there are casinos in every corner of the state, (people) are not going to come in and play tickets,” said Don Lanthorn, department service director for the Ohio American Legion.
