 The most important thing you need to know about Prop. 94, 95, 96, and 97 is what neither side -- run by rival gambling interests -- is telling you.
The four largest casinos in Southern California currently have about 8,000 slot machines total. If Prop. 94, 95, 96, and 97 pass, this will be dramatically boosted to 25,000 highly-addictive slot machines, more than a 400% increase.
Failure to defeat Prop. 94, 95, 96, and 97 would also mean a 28% increase in slot machines statewide in California.
