Laurel Park is a dump. It was like walking into McCain headquarters tonight.

Now you'll have Delaware opening sports books in reply to Maryland cutting into their revenue. The only thing left after that to get a leg up would be a legalized brothel in Bethany Beach. Anything is possible we put a brotha in the White House yesterday!!

They don't currently have the room for 1500 machines at Laurel. Where would the other 4 licenses of 1500 a county actually end up?

Laurel isn't a "dump" per se, though I can't say I enjoy the indoor grandstand with the temperature consistently set at hot or hotter. I will enjoy playing Sligo inbetween races, however.

Might actually happen in New Jersey in the next 5 years.

Let me clarify something I said... Pimlico is a DUMP, we can all agree on that. But MD racing did not deserve to lose the Preakness, one of the world's greatest sporting events and very much one of my favorite days of the year (been to the last 12), because neighboring states (with much less racing history) have gaming in place and they do not.

Hasn't WV allready approved or voted to approve table games at Mountaineer and Charles Town? Thought I had read that some time back. Any way, you are 100% correct - each state will be in competition to become the next Vegas in order to out do each other.

In WV the tracks, casinos, and the lottery account for something like 80% of the state's total revenue. They will install free brothels at each border crossing to insure that money stays rolling in.

Former Governor Wise had proposed table games, but it is my understanding they haven't been formally approved as of yet. I could be wrong though.

Just checked - back in June of '07 Jefferson County voted it down, Ohio county voted for it. So none at Charles Town, but already in place at Mountaineer.

Unless they're hiding at the no-windows gentlemen club across the way, there definitely are not table games at Charles Town. Did I miss something?

the county that Mountaineer is in approved gaming and jefferson county where CT is voted against. the vote was set up to allow the counties decide independent of each other.

Contract with MJC has he and his sister locked into a portion of slots revenue for 20 (I believe) years.
