Gambling news from http://www.thnt.com/ If New York and Delaware legalize cock fighting, will New Jersey have to do it, too? Don't laugh. It's a legitimate question implied by the state's growing interest in video lottery terminals that mimic slot machines. Atlantic City casinos don't like the prospect of this competition spreading around the landscape. Gov. Jon Corzine also used to be against the idea of introducing such devices in this state, but now that those two neighbors and Pennsylvania are installing them, the governor says, "We have to protect the franchise." New Jersey has come a long way from the first, simple, three-digit state lottery. There's no sense of anything cynical in relying on gamblers as a major source of revenue, so who knows what's next? As the government's addiction to gambling grows, the smart money might be on rooster futures.
