Nearly half of North Carolinians would support an expansion of casinos in the state, according to a poll released Wednesday as state lawmakers weigh a plan that would authorize four more casinos.
Republican legislative leaders are holding private discussions about a significant expansion of legalized gaming just a few months after approving mobile sports betting.
While no finalized bill has been released, lawmakers are considering creating four “entertainment districts” that would include casinos and other amenities such as hotels, dining and housing. They would be located in Nash, Anson and Rockingham counties as well as on Lumbee tribal land.
