There is not so much in the news about it, I don't think, but some are doing well with the expansion of casinos in the mid-Atlantic and some not it seems. Delaware could use some help with marketing, that's for sure. WV I think just got lucky in some cases, presumably doing better.

I dont have the figures, but I was just at Charlestown, WV two weeks ago and they are going to be building a second on premises hotel because business is so good. Well at least thats what I was told by two different people.

Gee, legal casinos make a mint. Illegal casinos are pulling in money like crazy. And here is Delaware crying about the competition. Somebody is doing something wrong.

Maryland, where two new slots casinos have opened within easy reach of the Delaware line.




I am aware of one casino ,' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.hollywoodcasinoperryville.com/] Hollywood Casino in Perryville Maryland. Does anyone know what is the second casino they are referring to?

EDIT: Never mind, I found the other one. It's near the southern border of Delaware

Based on the historical record, I would maintain that The Golden Goose is still a gosling.
