"Everyone knows how Beasley '< stands on the issue. The video poker in- 1 dustry has turned the election into a : campaign about video poker because it's backing Hodges and the whole Democratic campaign," he said. "It is a legitimate concern to look at any special interest group that may influence an election by contributing money," Charlie Tyer, professor of public relations, said. American Amusement, the state's fourth largest video poker distributor with more than 800 machines, has already contributed the maximum $3,500 to a pro-Hodges group. Collins Entertainment, another large video poker distributor, has been linked to billboards and commercials attacking Beasle/s public record. George Shelton, the press secretary for Democratic candidate Jim Hodges, was unavailable for comment. The Democratic Party, however, charges that Beasley has been a friend to the video poker industry by allowing it to grow unregulated during his term. According to the South Carolina Department of Revenue, video poker has grown more than 40 percent in the last year into a $2.1 billion a year industry.

Nevada and New Jersey are first and second, respectively. More than 30,000 poker machines are in operation across the state, with the average machine profiting by $22,000 in 1997. In the 1994 gubernatorial election, Beasley accepted contributions from the gambling industry to fuel his campaign. In the opening days of the 1998 Legislature, however, Beasley proposed banning video poker as part of a new budget plan. A ban on video poker means South Carolina would lose $60 million a year in licensing fees on video poker machines. < Beasley argued that making gambling part of the budget would make the state dependent on revenue from the industry. "If the state government were to gain revenue from video poker machines through taxes or by other means, the General Assembly would be made to depend on gambling revenues for the budget. This would give the gambling industry a significant amount of influence over the government," computer science freshman Jeff Mobley said. The ban was approved in April by the Republican majority of the House but was stopped by the Democratic majority of the Senate. ? able to remox tt's very irritating and an- Howev< Lg," said business student Berry sistants ai on. a legal standpoint, me- dentswitt w professor Erik Collins bethe block fosters censorship, lems. t is the definition of censorwhich is preventing people "We wil retting information.

Video poker has been the subject of ebate for years. In 1994, all but 12 counties approved ideo poker games, allowing busitesses to freely operate video poker mahines in the counties that approved. In December 1997, South Caroliia Attorney General Charlie Condon uled that video poker payout constiate a lottery and are illegal under state aw. This ruling was at odds with a preious state Supreme Court ruling, which ield that video poker is a game of skill, Lot a lottery.
