West Virginia table games bill eyed with job promises
State lawmakers consider a statewide vote on table games amid a push by the racing tracks to capture 88 percent of proceeds. Supporters cite 4,600 jobs across Hancock Jefferson Kanawha and Ohio counties and $63.7 million in video lottery revenues since 1999, while tracks have earned $1.4 billion under the lottery since 1994. The measure seeks tax rate adjustments offset by credits for job creation and facility improvements, with five to six year expiry to allow expansion. Advocates seek written job guarantees, and past proposals like a Greenbrier casino are cited for precedent.
