"The state's already in the gaming busi- ness. It's called the NC Education Lottery. So it's a flimsy argument to say we're going to sell lottery tickets but shut down video sweepstake centers," said William Thevaos, president of the Entertainment Group of North Carolina, which represents the com- puter software designers and sweepstakes operators in the video sweepstakes industry. ""If the lawmakers really want to clean up the video gaming business, then they need to regulate it. We are asking for state oversight." Constituents emailing and telephoning their local legislators this week are giving varied opinions on the sweepstakes bill. House Bill 80 would prohibit electronic machines and other devices used for sweep- stakes activities in the state. The bill makes it "unlawful for any person to own, lease, or have possession of and place into operation an electronic machine or device to conduct a sweepstakes or to engage in any process of activity associated with a sweepstakes." The bill places a "game over" deadline of Dec. 1st. HBS8O0 is strongly supported by the NC Sheriff's Association, the Family Policy Council, the NC League of Municipalities and the Christian Action League. The Enter- tainment Group of North Carolina strongly advocates for regulation - not banning video gaming. y The bill targets only the sweepstakes ma- chines.
