Vets And Fraternal Groups Continue Using Raffle Machines

Ohio veterans and fraternal groups have continued to set up electronic raffle machines, disregarding a warning from the state attorney general that the devices are illegal. Several groups have installed more of the slots-like machines since April when Mike DeWine set an August 1st deadline for the devices to be removed. A spokesperson says DeWine decided to delay enforcing the ban after Ohio Senate leaders notified him they're considering making the devices legal.
