Lottery Lawsuit Dismissed
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha County Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the West Virginia Lottery Commission’s bidding process for the next round of 10-year limited video lottery licenses. In August, the West Virginia Amusement and Limited Video Lottery Association sued the state Lottery Commission in an attempt to halt the bidding process, while arguing that operators who previously held licenses weren’t given enough preference. In September, the commission revised its rules to allow operators who currently hold licenses to bid on any unclaimed licenses in all three rounds of bidding. Kaufman noted in his order that the parties had resolved their differences.
