Anti-Casino gambling protest held. | News

An anti-gambling group is calling on the state legislature to block a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize commercial casino gambling.

The group gathered in Albany this morning.

Members argued that casinos prey on societies most vulnerable and encourage gambling addiction.

They also accuse the industry of being corrupt.

They also specifically mentioned the problem with slot machines that NewsChannel 13 uncovered last week.

It involved the total changing suddenly on two machines at the Saratoga Casino and Raceway.

The machines in question have since been shut down across the state so the problem can be fixed.
