On a Monday afternoon last month, five men and a woman sat with their backs to a checkout counter at an Interstate 65 truck stop in Southern Indiana, sliding $10 and $20 bills into a row of Cherry Master gambling machines. It's hardly an unusual sight.

With the Exception of licensed riverboat casinos, gambling is illegal in Indiana, but pull into a rest stop on I-65 and you will see at least 5 or 6 people sitting in front of slot machines. Every year people in Kentucky and Indiana spend millions of dollars on these machines.

These machines could be found in most bars and restaurants until the state decided to start a limited crackdown on illegal gambling. The crackdown only pushed the machines underground. The machines found there way to the Interstate truck stops, but the Alcoholic - beverage trade group is trying to change that.

Recently the Indiana Licensed Beverage Association, which is made up of state tavern and bar owners is making an attempt to legalize video gambling, the catch is they will only be legal in bars and Restaurants.

Their spin is that by legalizing video gambling machine it would bring in an approximate $300 million in new taxes, but by removing the machines from truck stops and convenient stores it will make it harder for children to get at the machines.

The group does not expect this to be an easy battle but they have said they are in it to win it.
