Roselle residents speak out on video gambling

Six local residents attended the meeting, with four decrying the gambling machines and two supporting the measure's revenue benefits.

Roselle has 16 establishments with liquor licenses that each would be eligible for five machines.

Village President Gayle Smolinski said a more realistic revenue projection is $40,000 to $80,000 per year, since it is unlikely all 16 businesses would opt for five machines.

they hoped Roselle could create an ordinance exempting veterans' groups from a video gambling ban, since they already are permitted to have pull tab gambling in their posts.
