Ohio bans Internet cafes

Ohio bans those dangerous dens of iniquity, Internet cafes | Ars Technica: " . . . "Internet cafes operate by selling Internet time or phone cards and in return offer free chances to win cash on computer games that often resemble slot machines," the newspaper explains. The cafes in Ohio mostly draw an older crowd, according to cafe owners. The cafes tried to get around casino regulations by saying they offered legal online "sweepstakes." Ohio courts have split on the issue of whether the cafes are offering legal sweepstakes games, or illegal gambling. There are only four legal casinos in Ohio, a state which authorized Las Vegas-style gambling just one year ago. . . ."
