STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rob Walgate,
Vice-President of the Ohio Roundtable, issued the following statement today in
response to the Lakes Entertainment signature collection.

"The Ohio Constitution was not designed to be a tool for private companies to
set up exclusive monopolies and drag money out of Ohio.  The Lakes
Entertainment casino proposal is the worst of the four casino issues that have
been placed before Ohio voters.  We urge all Ohioans to carefully read the
language of the amendment, which they can find at www.votenocasinos.com."

The Roundtable has helped lead successful campaigns against expanded gambling
in Ohio in 1990, 1996 and 2006. The Ohio Roundtable, a division of the
American Policy Roundtable, is a non-profit, non-partisan public policy
organization founded in 1980.
