An Arizona Racino Amendment may appear on the November 2010 ballot in the state of Arizona. It is being pushed by Andy Tobin, a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives. The amendment, if it makes it onto the Arizona 2010 ballot, would allow "racetrack casinos" or "racinos" in the state as a way of making up for tax revenues that are fast declining in the state's economic recession.[1]

Tobin says that allowing racinos in Arizona might be a way to mend the state's $3 billion budget deficit without having to raise taxes. Gov. Jan Brewer has called for a temporary tax hike.

Arizona voters rejected racinos in 2002.
