Utah soon may be alone as the only state prohibiting gambling. Right now, Hawaii also does not allow any form of legal gaming, but lawmakers there have introduced eight bills to legalize slot machines and video poker to offset the state's $800 million deficit projected over the next two years.

Opponents say legalized gambling would lead to increased crime and corruption. Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Peter Carlisle joined a rally against the bills, saying:

Does Hawaii really need one more addiction?

It's kind of quaint that back in Salt Lake City, Utah lawmakers think the governor's drive to abolish the club membership requirement to get a cocktail is Satan's work.
