Slot Machine Commission Wants Table Games 

It was only a matter of time before table games became the new slot machines. First it seemed as though every state across the United States was looking to bring in slot machines – and many of them did. This was bad enough news for places like Atlantic City and Las Vegas as they knew that their slot machine revenues were now going to drop. But they also knew that they still had table games going for them, even though their slot machines were going to take a hit. 

But now it seems as though there are many states looking to add table games to their slot machines as well. Pennsylvania has already approved table games to their line up, last Friday Delaware did as well,  and now Maryland is looking to add them as well. This will be particularly tough on New Jersey as they have already seen their numbers drop and taking table games as well will be disastrous.  

But some are wondering why on earth Maryland would be looking to bring in table games. They say that they have had a hard enough time trying to bring in slot machines and that they still don’t have any of them up and running. They argue that perhaps they should keep their focus on the slot machines and once those are up and running then they can worry about expanding.  

Their slot machine commission says that they need to add table games to their slot machines in order for them to have “real casinos” and that they wouldn’t be able to offer that to their residents and visitors otherwise. Many say that you don’t build budgets on gambling, and with them not able to bring the slot machines to fruition yet that an expansion at this time might not be the smartest idea.
