Hoping for a jackpot
Waterman bar owner Tom Houlahan took a gamble on video gaming and saw an immediate payout this month.
“The first weekend it was a 20 percent increase in sales across the board,” Houlahan said. “That was my whole hope for it. They would come in and play, have a couple of cocktails and have something to eat.”
Houlahan’s Tavern at 208 W. Lincoln Highway is one of three businesses in DeKalb County with video gambling terminals up and running for patrons 21 and older.
