{Kentucky}...The Family Foundation is calling on Attorney General Jack Conway to shut down the slot-like machines being used at Kentucky Downs. Family Foundation director Kent Ostrander showed a video of the machines at a Capitol news conference on Wednesday, insisting that what has been billed as "Instant Racing" games actually are nothing more than slot machines, which are illegal in Kentucky. The Family Foundation has gone to court to try to stop the machines from being used, but a lower court judge ruled against the group, prompting a pending appeal. Conway spokeswoman Shelley Johnson acknowledged that her office had received Ostrander's request but said the attorney general doesn't intervene in such matters that are pending in court.
