The gambling industry is sponging up accusations from anti-gambling activists who revolt against the campaigns targeting to emphasize the beneficial outcomes of gambling ventures and detailing allegedly inflated data about the prospective jobs, to mislead South Florida voters.
If voters back up the plan for gambling, seven race tracks and jai-alai frontons would be allowed to install slots, though voters should not take the job fair advertisement, specifying about 18,000 new jobs that are waiting for applicants in the literal sense of the word. According to critics, the jobs are far from guaranteed and the gambling proponents in hope of winning more voices exploit the naiveté of job seekers.
The gambling expansion campaign persuaders have been locked on the employment promises in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. They advocate that half of the jobs would be at the casinos and the rest would be generated as a result of economic boost.
If the referendum would be approved slot machines would be infused at seven pari-mutuel sites within this summer. It is yet to be decided in what way the gambling would be operated, or what the tax rates would be, or how the gaming proceeds would be invested into educational needs.
