W. Va. Holds Table Games Vote
Early voting on a December 5th. referendum to allow table games at the Charles Town Races and Slots will end Monday at the Jefferson County courthouse. Supporters say allowing blackjack, craps and poker at the only West Virginia casino without them is not just about new jobs, but they say it will also protect existing jobs by keeping gamblers closer to home. However, opponents are concerned the notion of easy money may influence young children to become interested in gambling. They also worry it will bring heavy traffic, overcrowded schools and high-rise hotels.
