Little Bit of Vegas Coming to Maine 

Maine voters very narrowly gave permission for a casino to come to Oxford, and as soon as it was approved, there was talk as to who might be the ones to take on the running of the slot machines at the location. There were many names banded about, but when it came down to it the Silverton Casino got permission to be the ones to bring a little glitz and glamour to the location. Black Bear Development was pleased to announce the contract this past week, stating that the casino is due to open in the spring.  

The company from Vegas will determine how many and what kind of slot machines are brought in, as well as the table games that are going to be offered. They will also bring in a restaurant and handle the menu, as well as making the determinations for the executives and managers at the casino. The casino has a long history of marketing their properties in Vegas so Black Bear felt that this was the only logical choice for them in this venture. They say that they have the same “look, feel and brand” as the Black Bear goal so they felt that it was a good fit all around.  

The Silverton Casino that is located in Vegas is a rather large affair with 90,000 sq ft of gaming space, and more than 2,000 slot machines to offer their patrons. They have restaurants, as well as entertainment venues to boot, and they are a logical choice to offer the residents of Maine something they have never seen before.
