Mountaineer readies for table games

WEST VIRGINIA -- As reported by Bloodhorse: "The West Virginia Lottery Commission has authorized Mountaineer Casino Resort & Racetrack to conduct two nights of testing in preparation for the soon-to-be announced official opening of table games.

"The testing will debut four newly renovated table-game areas in the facility's Speakeasy Casino, and will feature blackjack, craps, roulette, three-card poker, and other games, officials said in a Nov. 21 release. Mountaineer received approval to add table games in a June 30 referendum in Hancock County, where the track is located.

Proceeds from the charity nights, which are slated for Dec. 17-18 from 7-10 p.m. EST, will benefit the Weirton Area United Way, which recently announced a deficit for its annual fund drive. Subject to regulatory approval, Mountaineer expects to open the table game rooms shortly thereafter..."
