Gambling news from http://www.wane.com/ INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Some Indiana residents want the state to legalize video gambling in American Legion halls and other clubs. Supporters say the move would allow the state to regulate the machines and collect a piece of the pot. The Indiana Licensed Beverage Association has planned public meetings around the state to convince lawmakers that they should legalize the devices when the General Assembly convenes in January. Fort Wayne Democratic State Representative Win Moses compares the situation to Prohibition, when banning alcohol made the industry go underground. Public meetings are planned in Bluffton, Fort Wayne, South Bend, East Chicago, Noblesville, Beech Grove, West Lafayette, Evansville, Tell City, Terre Haute and Bedford.
