Hawaii To Look Again At Casino Resort

Hawaii

Hawaii may see a casino resort built there if the Department of Hawaiian Homelands gets its way next week.

The department is set to ask the Hawaiian Homes Commission to support the proposal for a bill that would allow a casino resort to be built in Kapolei a small regional island of Hawaii.

Historically Hawaii has never supported gambling and the last attempt in 2017 to allow online gambling failed to get enough support but this time may be different, the government there has a $6 billion budget deficit, not helped by the global pandemic and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands wants to push casino gambling as a new revenues generator for the government.

In the agenda item it stated, “a single integrated resort property in Kapolei on Hawaiian Home Lands designated for commercial use.”

There is only two states in the US that does not allow gambling that being Hawaii and Utah, if the agenda item is supported and pushed through it could be introduced in the legislative session that starts on the 20th January.
