….about 22 businesses in West Dundee are eligible for the devices. Each business will be able to have up to five terminals in their establishment and hope to make $2,250 a year per machine.
Municipalities already allowing this type of gambling include Carpentersville and East Dundee, both being close neighbors to West Dundee. The East Dundee Village Board went ahead and gave the green light to video gambling even after its citizens voted against it in 2010.
The Elgin City Council is expected to vote Feb. 27 on the issue. Other area villages including Bartlett, Gilberts, Hampshire, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Pingree Grove, South Elgin and sections of unincorporated Kane County already have the machines up and running.
The village of Algonquin is taking a let’s-see-what-happens approach to the issue for at least six months.
