Maryland votes to legalize slots machines
Voters in Maryland approved the legalization of video lottery terminals in the state, according to published reports.
Voters approved the measure, which was “Question 2” on the ballot, with 60% of the vote with 33% of the precincts reporting, according to the Baltimore Sun. The constitutional amendment would allow about 15,000 slot machines in the state. Legalized slot machines are expected to pump millions of dollars into the state’s ailing Thoroughbred and harness racing industry as well as Maryland’s public schools. The Sun reported that Laurel Park is expected to bid for a license for slot machines. http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/nat...-machines.aspx

Laurel Park is a dump. It was like walking into McCain headquarters tonight.

Now you'll have Delaware opening sports books in reply to Maryland cutting into their revenue. The only thing left after that to get a leg up would be a legalized brothel in Bethany Beach. Anything is possible we put a brotha in the White House yesterday!!
They don't currently have the room for 1500 machines at Laurel. Where would the other 4 licenses of 1500 a county actually end up?

Laurel isn't a "dump" per se, though I can't say I enjoy the indoor grandstand with the temperature consistently set at hot or hotter. I will enjoy playing Sligo inbetween races, however.

Let me clarify something I said... Pimlico is a DUMP, we can all agree on that. But MD racing did not deserve to lose the Preakness, one of the world's greatest sporting events and very much one of my favorite days of the year (been to the last 12), because neighboring states (with much less racing history) have gaming in place and they do not.

In WV the tracks, casinos, and the lottery account for something like 80% of the state's total revenue. They will install free brothels at each border crossing to insure that money stays rolling in.
