State House and Senate leaders are considering legalizing up to four new casinos across the state. Senate leader Phil Berger told reporters Thursday that Republicans are working on legislation that would allow for casinos in Nash, Rockingham and Anson counties, as well as one run by the Lumbee Tribe in southeastern North Carolina. Berger and House Majority Leader John Bell say the move could bring tourism dollars and economic development to areas of the state that need a boost. The legislation might also allow for video lottery terminals, which can resemble slot machines.
