Elburn might push back vote on video gambling

ELBURN – Village Board members may vote on whether to allow video gambling in Elburn, but that depends on whether two trustees attend Monday’s meeting.

Village President Dave Anderson described the vote as tentative. Trustee Jerry Schmidt has said he will miss the meeting. Another member, Ethan Hastert, might be out of town. In that case, Anderson said he would postpone the vote.

Video gambling appears headed for approval. Most board members have indicated they support reversing the village’s ban on video gambling, which has been in place since 2009. Officials who reversed their position said that the rules are better established than they were in 2009. Also, video gambling machines have been installed at the Blackberry Bar and Grill, which sits just south of Elburn on Route 47.
