Video Poker 247 - Table Games Delay
The West Virginia Lottery Commission has announced that the opening of the table games in their state is going to have to be postponed, due to a lack of employees. Over the past couple of months, West Virginia has been in the limelight as they have had table games approved at a couple of their tracks.
Mountaineer Racetrack and Gaming Resort, as well as Wheeling Island Racetrack and Gaming Center, were planning on starting to offer table games with their slot machines. Once they got the approval from the state and its voters, they started making plans to bring in the table games. Both said that they thought they could be ready for early fall.
However, now the lottery director of the state says that they are looking at November at the earliest before table games can be offered. Mountaineer was aiming for Labor Day Weekend, and Wheeling was trying for October 1st. Now it looks as if both of them will have to wait.
The lottery commission is trying to get enough employees for the casinos, but it takes four to six months to train them in the ways of table games.
