Tri-State could start table games next month
Advertiser
Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center could offer its first poker games to the public on Aug. 21, according to a timeline given to Kanawha County officials on Monday.
Dan Adkins, vice president of racetrack owner Hartman & Tyner Inc., sent Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper a letter on Monday explaining delays in the expansion of the gaming facility and laying out a timeline for table gaming.
County voters approved the addition of casino-style table games at Tri-State last August, but visitors have yet to see the first poker game at the facility.
According to the letter, track officials couldn't order poker chips or other gambling equipment until they paid a $1.5 million licensing fee to the state Lottery Commission. Adkins said the licensing fee was finally paid this month.

Follow closely to see if Tri-State delivers on it's promises to build a $250 Million Dollar Hotel/Convention complex and use local workers in construction.
Seems appropriate. Maybe Carper and others shouldn't count on winnings they haven't won yet. That is always the problem with people who become addicted to gambling (or its revenues).
