Lottery Commission Says Casinos Will Survive
WEST VIRGINIA....
This week, Pennsylvania began offering table games at three of its casinos including The Meadows in Washington County, and, by the middle of this month Pennsylvania will have nine casinos offering table games. The Meadows is located less than 50 miles from Mountaineer and Wheeling Island casinos in West Virginia. The West Virginia Lottery Commission says it's unclear if Pennsylvania will be able to raise the stakes, and it's hard to predict to what extent people will cross the border. The Commission predicts its operations will definitely survive, but there's a big difference between surviving and making a profit. Commission members say they'll watch, wait and take action if necessary to make sure Wheeling Island and Mountaineer remain top notch gambling establishments.
