That could change very soon as voters in Nevada seem to be in favour of raising tax gaming laws to fund the state educational budget. <\/p>\n<p>The Nevada Independent and OH Predictive Insights carried out a new poll which showed that <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1anAVZ2S5bidLiiSpO104eIIZIZSnE-x8\/edit?usp=sharing&#038;ouid=117205870662706758609&#038;rtpof=true&#038;sd=true\">voters appear to be in favour of a tax increase<\/a> that is backed by the union. The union is pushing for the top casino operators in the state to contribute more to pump funds into public educational budgets. <\/p>\n<p>The survey was based on the votes of 755 registered voters in the state who sent in their votes during Jan 19 to 26. The results of the survey have a 3.5 percent margin of error. The question posed to the voters in the survey was whether they would support a casino tax increase from a current 6.75% to a 9.75%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"a6385474-c300-4d05-a9e0-1e68bb32c6ca\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Nevada Independent\/OH poll - Gaming Tax Ballot Q\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The results showed that <strong>59 percent of those who voted were in favour of the tax hike<\/strong> while 25 percent were opposed.
