Voters in Clark County have approved legalized gambling by a wide margin.
That doesn't necessarily mean the county that borders the Ohio River will
get a casino, though. One of the existing 11 riverboats would have to move
from another location or the state Legislature would have to authorize a
12th license. Unofficial results show the gambling referendum passed with
about 60 percent support. It was the third time the question had been put to
a vote in the county. It was rejected in 1993 and 1995. If it had been voted
down, it couldn't have been placed on the ballot again for 10 years.
