Manchin Plans For Fewer Video Lottery Machines
WEST VIRGINIA....
Under a proposal introduced Friday by Governor Joe Manchin, West Virginia would permanently remove 1,500 video lottery machines from the maximum allowed in bars and clubs. Manchin recommended the Lottery Commission reduce the state's cap on the number of machines from 9,000 to 7,500. The state set the 9,000 limit in 2001 when it outlawed a much larger number of privately run devices widely understood to pay out illegally.
