The 1967-68 NHL expansion included the new teams of the Minnesota North Stars, California Seals, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penquins, and the St. Louis Blues to the already formed league of 6 original hockey teams.
The gambling foe and executive director of the National Coalition Against Gambling Expansion noted on Wednesday that voters have rejected six gaming expansion proposals this year, including a Missouri issue that was voted on in August.
In the case of Florida, one of the six examples also cited by Grey, a proposal to allow slot devices at racetracks and jai alai frontons in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas appeared to be headed for defeat by a narrow margin.
Although the election results hurts some racetrack owners who were hoping the Legislature would let them install slot machines at racetracks, the requirement will provide some protection against new competition for operators of existing Detroit area casinos, such as MGM Mirage and Mandalay Resort Group.
