The rattling of a thousand bingo balls in a cage. The scratching of a coin’s edge against the glossy surface of a lottery ticket. The electronic shuffling of a deck of cards in an online casino. The exasperated groan of defeat – and the joyous shrieks of victory.
As community and state leaders debate the prospect of a casino in our region – a plan that could face a long road ahead, wrought with legal, social and moral obstacles – the sounds of gambling are none too distant.
While some Stark County gamblers hit casinos out of state, others find their fun – or their fix – here at home.
For a good cause, of course.
While casino gambling is against the law in the state of Ohio, there are exceptions."
