The city of Watseka may have issued its last video gaming license – at least for now. Discussions over the last few months have not been too favorable when it comes to more gambling opportunities.

Several taverns/bars are already engaged in video gambling and two more stand-alone facilities are on the verge of operating.

The finance committee (Tuesday) voted down another request for a soon-to-open business on the west junction in Watseka.
Mayor Bob Harwood entertained talk about slowing down and stopping any more licenses after a license was granted to a proposed downtown gambling business a few months back.

The committee voted 4-3 not to allow another application. The matter will go before the full council next week.
