Tri-State to open more table games

Officials at Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center hope to have blackjack, roulette, craps and other specialized table games up and running Oct. 9.

Owners of the track near Nitro plan charity gaming events Oct. 6-7 to test the new gaming systems and dealers, said Tri-State spokeswoman Kim Lawrence. Officials for the state Lottery Commission must approve the gaming operations before Tri-State can offer the games full-time to the public.

Tri-State opened its first poker tables to the public last month. Kanawha County voters approved the expansion of table gaming at the racetrack in August 2007.
